How to Get Rid of a Solar Light

Solar light is a light that gets its power from the sun. They are used in gardens or in small walkways to provide lighting that you desire. You may decide that you don't want to use the solar lighting anymore and you will need to get rid of it.

Things you will need:

• Screwdriver

1. Go to the solar light that needs to be removed and pull it out. If the solar light is one that has a stake and was pressed into the ground just pull it out with some force. If it is hard to remove wiggle it from left to right until it becomes loose and pull it out of the ground. You may also need to remove the solar lighting with a shovel. If pulling the solar light doesn't get it out of the ground and the other option of wiggly it from side to side doesn't work you may need to use a shovel to remove it.


2. Get your screwdriver and remove the screws. You will need to remove screws if your solar light is attached to a pole or any other object that it needs to be removed from. Removing the screws is really easy just remember to twist your screwdriver to the left to make the screws loose and removable.


3. Get your screwdriver and remove the screws that hold the battery case in place. Once you have removed the screws you will need to open the case. If you solar light does not use screws to hold the battery case in place all you will need to do is twist the cover to remove it.


4. Remove the batteries. Once you have removed the batteries you can take them to your local Home Depot location and recycle them. The batteries that are located in the solar light are rechargeable and are able to be recycled. You can throw the rest of the solar lights away. If the solar light was in working condition you always have the option to give it to someone else that is looking for one.
