BROKEN LIGHTS? DON'T TOSS THEM!Putting away all your holiday decorations for the season? If you come across string lights and extension cords that are no longer usable, finding a specialized recycling place for broken and unusable string lights is a much better choice than throwing them in the garbage. Hennepin County has two drop-off facilities that accept these items for free, including one in Bloomington. Find drop-off locations and hours. If you're looking to earn a little money for your string lights and cords, scrap metal places like Express Metals in Hopkins is another great option for recycling those items. |
