FALMOUTH – UPDATE 7:00 a.m. 1/5/23: Cape residents are being reminded by the town that old and non-working holiday string lights are being collected for recycling.
For example, the Falmouth Waste Management Facility along Thomas B. Landers Road is accepting lights for free, without the need for a sticker.
The lights cannot be recycled with typical curbside materials, so the towns are encouraging them to be collected together.
Lights can be dropped off at the Falmouth facility on Tuesdays through Saturdays from 7:45 a.m. to 3 p.m. More details can be found on the town’s website.
Other residents are advised to reach out to their towns for disposal information; the Cape Cod Cooperative Extension’s Facebook page also has additional information.
