Exchange Christmas Lights for Electric Bill Discounts or $5 Off New Lights

If you’re a Mountain View Electric customer, you can exchange old C7 and C9 Christmas lights for $5 credit on your electric bill.  You will need to drop off the lights at a Mountain View Electric office, and they’ll give you up to ten credits of $5 of your next bill – so you can save up to $50 on your next bill!  The C7 and C9 lights are the big chunky ones.  Get all the details here.

If you’re a Colorado Springs Utilities customer, you can drop off old Christmas lights (of any type, it appears) and receive a coupon for $5 off the purchase of select brands of LED lights at Ace Hardware.  With this program, you can exchange up to three strings of lights for a total of three $5-off coupons.
