RECYCLING LIGHTS Metro Parks is teaming up with Girl Scouts of Western Washington <file://localhost/who-we-are/girl-scouts-news/Pages/Girl-Scout-Night-at-Poin t-Defiance-Zoo-is-Dec.-13!.aspx> again this year on the holiday lights recycling program. Working together to keep thousands of strings of lights out of the landfill. The program was sparked by an idea from a 10-year-old girl, Jessica Lam, who approached Zoo staff three years ago with an idea to keep thousands of strings of holiday lights out of the landfill and raise money for the Zoo's conservation fund. Jessica and the Zoo hope families will bring their old holiday lights to the zoo when they come to Zoolights instead of throwing them in the trash. TIPS FOR RECYCLING LIGHTS Please remove all packaging, twist-ties and rubber bands. Please place lights directly in the bin -- with no bags or other extra material. MANY PLACES TO BRING YOUR USED LIGHTS Please drop your unwanted holiday lights in designated bins at the Zoo¹s main entrance and at other Metro Parks locations, including: Northwest Trek Wildlife Park <http://www.nwtrek.org/> (during open hours) 11610 Trek Drive East, Eatonville Metro Parks Tacoma headquarters, 4702 South 19th Street, Tacoma Tacoma Nature Center 1919 South Tyler Street, Tacoma STAR Center 3873 S. 66th St., Tacoma Center at Norpoint 4818 Nassau Ave. N.E. , Tacoma Portland Avenue Community Center 3513 Portland Ave., Tacoma Peoples Community Center 1602 S.
