Montgomery County DEP is accepting holiday light strings for recycling at the electronics recycling area of the Shady Grove Transfer Station. Residents may also call 311 to schedule curbside collection of light strings along with other electronic items, household batteries, and scrap metal. DEP notes that keeping these items out of regular trash and recycling bins helps prevent potential fire hazards.
