This year the department is partnering with DeKalb Iron and Metal. The recycling program will run from Nov. 18 until Jan. 13 and will accept mini-lights, C7, C9, rope, LED lights and extension cords.

Those who want to recycle their lights can do so at:

• City of DeKalb Municipal Building, 200 S. Fourth St.

• DeKalb County Health Department, 2550 N. Annie Glidden Road

This program is designed to save landfill space and to recycle materials found in holiday lights. For more information, contact Christel Springmire at 815-758-6673.
