Braidwood Lions to collect used Christmas lights

The Braidwood Lions Club will be collecting used/non-working strands of Christmas lights starting Sunday, Nov. 15.

Collection bins will be located inside Whitmore Ace Hardware in Braidwood and Coal City, and inside Braidwood City Hall until Jan. 31. The strands of lights will be recycled by the Lions of Illinois Foundation with proceeds to benefit the foundation’s sight & sound services provided to local Lions Clubs.

A collection bin will also be available during the club’s annual Christmas Tree Sale fundraiser, hours of operations. For more information please call (815)791-8093 or visit www.braidwoodlionsclub.org.
