There is still time to recycle those old holiday lights that stopped working this year. The DeKalb County Health Department is partnering with DeKalb Iron and Metal (DIMCO) to recycle the lights.
Lights can be dropped off at DeKalb County Farm Bureau, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Lights being accepted from now until this Friday, January 9th, 2015 include: mini-lights (or Italian lights), C7 lights, C9 rope lights, rope lights, LED lights and extension cords.
Besides the Farm Bureau office, county residents may drop off holiday lights at the following locations during normal office hours: Waterman Village Hall, Sandwich City Hall, City of DeKalb Municipal Building, Genoa City Hall, DeKalb County Health Department, DeKalb Park District Sports & Rec Center, Sycamore Centre, Kishwaukee Family YMCA, and Haish Gym in DeKalb.
