POLL: What Do You Do With Holiday Lights?

It's time to take down the stockings with care and unstring those holiday lights.

But what do you do with the old or broken ones?

You can recycle them through the statewide program Recycle Your Holidays where residents can drop-off their unwanted light strands at one of more than 400 participating locations through the end of January.

You can sign up for them to come pick up your lights or go to a drop-off site in surrounding cities including Golden Valley, Maple Grove and St. Louis Park. Check out this interactive map to find out a drop-off location nearest you.
