 Well, if you're still in the giving spirit when the holidays are over, you can donate your unneeded Christmas lights and extension cords at different drop-off locations in Crowing County. The Crowing County Land Department along with Sunrise Sertoma and Kenwood Recycling are teaming up to collect unwanted lights and keep them out of the county landfill. The proceeds from the recycled materials will be donated to local area food shelves. Sertoma has collected almost 23,000 pounds since 2010 when the program first started. We've taken the money that we've done from recycling and about $6,000 and we've given that back to the food shelves. It's a great thing for the county to be involved in because we can reduce the amount of these lights that are going to the landfill and encourage recycling and then Sertoma can get some money for that and help support our food shelf. So it's a win-win for everybody involved. Certain drop-off locations such as Ace Hardware and Brainerd collect lights and extension cords year-round.
