We help kids with cancer by recycling old and broken holiday string lights. How can old holiday string lights help kids with cancer? Holiday string lights contain copper, a valuable commodity. We collect the string lights (and other items that contain copper) and sell them to a recycling company.  We then donate the proceeds directly to a family who has a child with cancer.  It’s that easy! And it’s good for the environment!  Keep valuable commodities out of landfills, and help kids with cancer! It’s a win-win situation!

Lights for Life has now expanded our local recycling program! We are now accepting a variety of e-waste at our new location for recycling including your old computer towers and printers, old laptops and cell phones, fax toner and printer cartridges, copper pipe and copper wire, electric motors, starters, and even your old car battery! Of course string lights are also accepted year round at our headquarters in Loveland. Proceeds help us continue our mission to help more families that have a child with cancer.

How can I help?
You can help kids with cancer by donating your old, broken string lights directly to Lights For Life. Clean out that garage and find what else can be recycled. We’ll take care of the rest.

Where can the lights be donated?
Holiday string lights can be donated at participating Ace Hardwares in Colorado, Wyoming,  New Mexico, Northern California, and Washington state between November 1st and February 15th, and the Lights for Life Headquarters in Loveland, CO all year long.

What if I don’t have holiday string lights… can I still help?
Yes!  Of course you can still help!  As a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit,
Cash donations and grants are always accepted and greatly appreciated.
You could also help us spread the word by joining the Lights for Life Street Team.
