Geneva residents who have old, broken, or unwanted strands of holiday lights can recycle them for free from Monday, Nov. 24, to Saturday, Jan. 31, 2026, at three drop-off locations.
The City is collaborating with eWorks to offer this recycling opportunity. Holiday lights can be dropped off during normal business hours at:
- Geneva City Hall, 22 S. First St.
- Geneva Public Library, 227 S. Seventh St.
- Geneva Park District Sunset Community Center, 710 Western Ave.
Residents can recycle mini lights (or Italian lights), C7 & C9 lights, rope lights, LED strands, and extension cords. Garland, wreaths and outdoor display pieces containing lights will not be accepted.
More program information is available on the City’s website.
