Recycle Holiday Lights In Easttown Through Jan 12

EASTTOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — Easttown Township is offering a special collection program for holiday light strands. Residents can drop off their used lights at the Easttown Township Municipal Building, 566 Beaumont Road in Devon.

This service is available now through Jan. 12, 2026.

The collection bin for these lights is located outside the main entrance of the municipal building. The township asks participants to place only string lights into the bin. Spools or reels associated with the lights should not be included in the collection.

Holiday light strands are not suitable for curbside recycling programs. Their design, which includes wires, can cause significant problems at recycling facilities. When these wires enter the sorting machinery, they can become tangled.

This tangling can lead to operational shutdowns at the facilities. Such disruptions not only halt the recycling process but also create potential safety hazards for the workers. The dedicated drop-off aims to prevent these issues while providing a responsible disposal option for residents.

By utilizing this program, Easttown Township residents can ensure their holiday lights are disposed of properly. This helps maintain the efficiency and safety of recycling operations. The initiative provides a convenient way to manage post-holiday waste that cannot be processed through standard recycling channels.
