Holiday Light Recycling is back again this Year!

Once again, Sustainable Moorestown and Moorestown Hardware are partnering to collect and recycle old decor lighting from residents. The lights will be recycled as part of Burlington County’s electronic waste recycling program.

Over the years we have been able to collect over 6,300 lbs of old lights for recycling that would have otherwise ended up in the landfill.

Inside the store you will see a box where you can place your lights starting now until late January.

🍂🍁🍂KEEP the LEAVES🍂🍁🍂 Great span

🍂🍁🍂KEEP the LEAVES🍂🍁🍂
Great spangled fritillary and wooly bear caterpillars tuck themselves into leaf piles for protection from cold weather and predators.
Red-banded hairstreaks lay their eggs on fallen oak leaves, which become the first food of the caterpillars when they emerge.
Luna moths and swallowtail butterflies disguise their cocoons and chrysalises as dried leaves, blending in with the “real” leaves.
Pulverizing leaves with lawn mowers destroys their winter habitat.

Bumble bees rely on leaves for protection. At the end of summer, mated queen bumble bees burrow only an inch or two into soil to hibernate for winter. An extra thick layer of leaves provides protection from the elements.

And there are many others that live in the leaves: spiders, snails, worms, beetles, millipedes, mites and more—which in turn support chipmunks, turtles, birds and amphibians.

Nature needs fallen leaves and dried garden/lawn debris.

Leaving the leaves does not need to mean a messy yard. It can look like:
🍂raking them into garden beds, around tree bases or into other designated areas.

🍂avoiding shredding leaves with a mower. Raking will keep leaves whole for the best cover and protect the insects and eggs already living there.

Wait until late Spring to clean up so as not to destroy all the life you’ve worked to protect.

Your yard is a universe

NORMALIZE wild yards and leaving the leaves, for pollinators and other critters who need them as a source of shelter and food going into the winter 🍂🐝🦋🐛
