This brings our three-season total to over three thousand pounds of lights repurposed!

Don't Trash Your Holiday Lights...​​
Recycle them instead!
​
What types of lights can be recycled?
​Any old, broken, or otherwise unused holiday lights.
How does it work?
​You drop off unused holiday lights for recycling at any of the locations below, from now until February 2nd. CFG then brings all donated lights to ALPCO Recycling, where the wires are stripped and precious metals (like copper) are recovered. The plastic goes into a shredder and is sent to a plant where it will be pelletized and made into other materials.
​
Where do I drop off my unwanted lights for recycling?
​Look for collection boxes with "Recycle Those Lights" signage at these locations:
-
Firehouse Wood Works
(113 N Main St, Fairport, NY 14450) -
The Box Factory
(6 N Main St Suite 130, Fairport, NY 14450) -
Perinton Community Center
