Keep Beatrice Beautiful and Sanitary Recycling Center are partnering this year in a “go green” holiday lights recycle drive. You can drop off non-working lights or lights that still work, but you just don’t want anymore. Light strings will be collected at Sanitary Recycling Center, 917 S. 11th St., Beatrice, and end their journey at Scrap Central, Inc. in Omaha. The hours of the Recycling Center are M-F 12-6; Sat. Keep Beatrice Beautiful will receive $.20 per pound for the recycled lights, and proceeds generated will be used to purchase a recycled park bench for each Beatrice elementary school.
