String lights are considered “Tanglers” and are a special class of everyday objects that put a major strain on the recycling process. These non-recyclable items wrap around machinery meant to sort and separate materials. When this happens, the entire system must be shut down in order to remove the Tangler.
Please dispose of electrical wires/cords and string lights at a disposal center. Visit LACitySan.org/SafeCenters to locate one near you.
