Don’t know what to do with those old or non-working holiday lights? Making the switch to energy efficient LED holiday lights? Recycle your old lights with our unique holiday light recycling program!

Recycle Your Holidays™ is a one-of-a-kind statewide holiday light recycling program in Minnesota. Residents can drop-off their unwanted light strands at one of our 400+ participating locations during the holiday season starting November 15 and running through the end of January each year.

This program employs over 200 individuals with developmental disabilities at vocational centers throughout the state of Minnesota. Every bulb of the light strand is dismantled by vocational center clients and then properly recycled in Minnesota.

From Ely to Fairmont and everywhere in between, any business or organization can participate as a collection site at NO COST. It is a great way to provide a value added service to customers. RAM provides collection bins, signs and promotional materials. Each holiday season, RAM promotes the program statewide in partnership with WCCO, Xcel Energy, Ace Hardware stores, and CERTS (Clean Energy Resource Teams) on websites, newspapers, television and radio. If your business or organization is interested in participating in the Recycle Your Holidays™ program, please fill out and submit the form below.  It’s that easy!

Once you’ve signed up, RAM will send you a free collection bin and help  promote your site as a collector. When the bin is full give us a call for a free  pick up.   To view a map showing all of this year's dropoff locations, CLICK HERE or click on the map.
