While decorating for the holidays is a tradition, too often strings of burnt out or damaged holiday lights end up being tossed out with household garbage.
There is a greener way to properly dispose of these decorations. Instead of discarding non-working lights in the trash, the Burlington County Board of Chosen Freeholders want residents to give them a second life by bringing them to the county’s Resource Recovery Complex, where a permanent electronics disposal center is staffed from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays and from 7-11:30 a.m. Saturdays.

With cold weather added to COVID-19’s second wave, new warming center is a ‘lifesaver’
Updated Dec 28, 2020;
Winter is a tough season for those struggling with homelessness, and with COVID-19 continuing to rage and forcing changes to all aspects of daily life, organizations that aid those in need are pivoting on both fronts.
Two organizations in Trenton did this by collaborating on a new warming center, where people can, as the name says, warm up, but also seek the social services they need.
To Joseph Volk, though, it’s much more.
He called it a sanctuary, a place that, if not available to him and others, would lead to people dying.
What would this dumpster fire of a year be without a smoldering ruin of a Christmas to go out on?
No Nutcracker. No Radio City. No sitting in Santa s lap. For many of us, no visiting with friends or relatives.
Whatever we consider a normal Christmas, this won t be it. But then, an abnormal Christmas is nothing new.
People have been celebrating Christmas under daunting circumstances, in odd places, ever since the holiday began.
Not, let us remind you, in a Thomas Kinkade living room with a glowing tree and a fireplace, but in a stable outside a motel.
So in honor of Christmas 2020 God bless it here are some other hard-luck holidays.
