If you have old Christmas lights and you're not sure what to do with them, you can try recycling for a good cause!

Ace Hardware stores participate in the benefit Lights for Life.

Over several years they've donated nearly $50,000 to families and kids with cancer.

It's a goal that strives to make life easier for the families of those suffering from the disease.

"I think it's just a good way to, you know, the whole recycling process," said Manager Shelby Gacnik. "Some people throw them away and they're actually worth money, and to help out the kids is a great contribution."

Some stores are no longer accepting, so call before you go.

Others will accept lights and extension cords through February 15.
