Our town always so looks beautiful this time of year but it never fails once Christmas has come and gone what to do with all of those bad Christmas lights. Randy's Sanitation now has a solution for those in Elk River and surrounding towns.
People who have their recycling picked up by Randy’s Environmental Services can now recycle one more thing: strings of Christmas lights.
All that Randy’s customers have to do is place the strands in their recycling bins with their bottles and cans. This pilot project is only available to Randy’s customers to test the viability of curbside collection of holiday lights. Randy’s is the first waste hauler in the country to try collecting holiday lights curbside.
Locally, Randy’s provides waste and recycling collection services in Baldwin Township, Big Lake, Big Lake Township, Blue Hill Township, Dayton, West Dayton, Elk River, Hassan Township, Livonia Township, Orrock Township, Otsego, Rogers and Zimmerman.
If you are not a Randy’s customer, drop the light strings off at any participating Snyders Drug Stores, Xcel Energy, the WCCO TV Plaza and many other Minnesota businesses until Jan. 10, 2010.
Elk River City Hall, 13065 Orono Rd., will also accept the strings of lights and electrical cords to be recycled.
