Keep Christmas Lights Out Of The Recycling Bin In Mansfield

MANSFIELD, MA — Holiday gift-giving can bring lots of joy, appreciation and receipts stamped for returns. It also typically produces a lot of trash that needs to go somewhere over the next few days or weeks. From the packaging, to the paper, to the Christmas tree with needles starting
to fall and branches starting to droop, it's all got to go somewhere.

Only it can be confusing what goes where when it comes to town and city pickup, as well as recycling.

Mansfield and Massachusetts Recycling are looking to help residents sift through the piles of tape, tags and tinsel to figure out what goes where it when people want to clean out the holiday clutter in the living room.

Residents are reminded that wrapping paper does not go in the recycling bin. Christmas lights are also not accepted for recycling.
