City of Georgetown offering free holiday string light recycling to residents
GEORGETOWN, Texas - The City of Georgetown is offering free holiday string-light recycling to all Georgetown residents. String lights should not be placed in residential or commercial recycling bins because they can damage the sorting machines at the recycling center.
The City of Georgetown announced it has partnered with Texas Disposal Systems to offer the free recycling service. Residents can drop off their old or broken string lights through Jan. 31 at one of three collection stations.
• City of Georgetown Collection and Transfer Station, 250 W.L. Walden Road
• Georgetown Municipal Complex, 300-1 Industrial Ave.
• Georgetown Public Library, 402 W. Eighth St.
Sun City residents may also drop off old or broken string lights at the Cowan Creek Pavilion, 1433 Cool Spring Way, in Sun City.
The program is limited to string lights.
Yard art, inflatables and other holiday lighting will not be collected.

Last year residents recycled more than 1,800 pounds of Christmas lights.
