Holiday Lights Recycle Program! Habitat Wausau takes holiday lights that are new or old. Lights can twinkle or fizzle. Broken or tangled lights are gladly accepted. Every strand of lights contributes to increasing homeownership in the greater Wausau area. All lights collected support Habitat’s Home Ownership Program, Critical Home Repairs and Veterans Build in the Wausau area. Habitat for Humanity of Wausau’s goal is to collect 5,000lbs of lights this holiday season. Collection boxes are convenient locations across the community and will be out now through January 15th. Wausau Habitat ReStore takes holiday lights all year round during regular store and donation hours of operation.  Habitat for Humanity of Wausau has been recycling holiday lights since 2014 and has kept over 33,000lbs of lights out of our local landfill.
