how to dispose of christmas lights

Once the holidays are over, it's time to pack up all the decorations and get the house ready for the new year. But what do you do with those old, tangled up Christmas lights that are no longer useful? The first step is to take the time to untangle them and carefully wind them back into the proper shape. Once you've done this, you can either donate them to a local charity or recycling center, or simply throw them away in the trash. Whatever you do, don't just toss them out into the bushes!
