NEWS RELEASE

DUBOIS COUNTY -- Due to demand, the Christmas light recycling program will extend through this weekend. 

Dubois County Solid Waste District reminds residents that they can recycle strands of old lights at the Jasper Rural King store during regular hours through Monday, January 18th. Cardboard barrels are provided at the entry to the store and inside the SWMD Process Center. After January 18, residents may bring strands of lights to the Process Center only.
