Wondering what to do with your old or unworkable holiday lights? You can recycle them! The annual Holiday Lights Recycling Drive returns to Washington University this winter. The drive runs November 18, 2024 through January 10, 2025. A holiday tradition, the WashU community brings in hundreds of pounds of holiday lights to responsibly recycle – let’s do it again this year!

Collection bins can be found on the Medical, Danforth, West, and North Campuses as well as The Link at the Loop. Find specific drop-off sites on the event page.
