Christmas is still some weeks away, and before you know it you’ll be surrounded by shredded wraps of holiday paper, cookie crumbs, cake smears, and in all likelihood some pretty questionable credit card purchases.  Nevertheless, you can kick off the New Year right by considering the environmental impact of recycling your Christmas lights with eAsset Solutions.  

 

In fact, one question we often get this time of year is—”Do you recycle Christmas lights?”—and our unequivocal answer is— “Yes, we do!”

 

In spite of their beauty, warmth and nostalgic factor, Christmas lights contain many hazardous components that pose a significant threat to the environment, especially when disposed of improperly.  

 

Toxic materials like lead and mercury to polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are just some of the reasons why you want to take a little extra time in considering how you manage your Christmas lights before and after the holiday season.

 

Regardless, whether you live in the DMV or beyond, eAsset Solutions is here to help restore order and balance into your lives by starting first with helping you recycle your Christmas lights.

 

Let’s take a look!

 

Why Should You Recycle Christmas Lights?

 

Environmental Impact

 

Christmas lights contain many components that are hazardous to our eco-system.  As mentioned previously, components such as mercury, lead and polyvinyl chloride pose a real threat to the environment.  When you dispose of holiday lights improperly, they end up in landfills and their toxic materials often leach into the soil and water, causing long-term harm to the environment.

 

Environmental Benefits of Recycling Christmas Lights

 

Recycling Christmas lights isn’t just a matter of convenience; it’s an eco-friendly step toward environmental preservation.

 

Moreover, recycling Christmas lights saves energy and resources by repurposing materials that would otherwise take an ungodly amount of time to break down in landfills.  Reducing the need for raw materials, this sustainable approach helps contribute to a healthier, more sustainable planet.

 

The Circular Economy Approach

 

We firmly believe in repurposing materials wherever possible, striving to reintroduce them into the market and keep them in circulation.  However, if repurposing isn’t feasible, then we ensure proper recycling in accordance with the highest industry standards as overseen by SERI (Sustainable Electronics Recycling International).
