Time to trash the tree and those holiday lights that stopped twinkling.

The Village of Glen Ellyn can help you dispose of both those holiday greens and no longer flashing greens, reds and blue lights.

If you have old holiday lights that no longer work or if you switched to LED lights, your old lights can be recycled. Recycled holiday lights are being accepted at the Village of Glen Ellyn’s civic center until Feb. 18. Extension cords are all being accepted. 

In addition, the village announced that is collecting holiday greens. The collection will take place with the curbside pick-up on three Mondays in January. The first collection is Jan. 7. Additional pick ups will be on Jan. 14 and 21. No sticker is required to put the items out with the trash.
