According to a city news release, string lights should not be placed in residential or commercial recycling bins because they can damage the sorting machines at the recycling center.
Through Jan. 31, Georgetown residents can drop off their old or broken string lights at three collection locations:
· City of Georgetown Collection and Transfer Station, 250 W.L. Walden Road, Georgetown
· Georgetown Municipal Complex, 300 Industrial Ave., Ste. 1, Georgetown
· Georgetown Public Library, 402 W. Eighth St., Georgetown
Sun City residents have a drop off location as well, at Cowan Creek Pavilion, 1433 Cool Springs Way, in Sun City.
The program is limited to string lights. Yard art, inflatables and other holiday lighting are not eligible for collection.
