Holiday lights.
Have you unpacked holiday lights only to find that lights are out or the whole string has just stopped working? So much for holiday cheer!
Luckily those broken strings still have value. The metals can be recycled for new electronic parts. The glass can be reused as well!
Have a wonderful and sustainable holiday season!
Why use Ridwell?
When you give your holiday lights to Ridwell, we make sure they get recycled responsibly!
