Go green! Free Drop Offs For CFL bulbs!

From the Snohomish PUD website:

"Because CFLs contain trace amounts of mercury, all burned-out CFLs should be recycled and removed from the normal waste stream. Mercury is a health hazard and a new Washington state rule prohibits mercury-containing items from being disposed of with household garbage. Burned-out CFLs can now be recycled in two ways: at a Snohomish County Solid Waste facility or any Home Depot retail store. "

Places to recycle your compact flourescent bulbs:

Starting Sept 22nd, 2008 ALL 11 Snohomish County Bartell Drug Stores will accept them!

Home Depot - take them to the returns counter for recycling

Snohomish County Solid Waste Facility on McDougall in Everett - (up to 12 tubes or bulbs for free)

Go Green and use these wonderful bulbs, but be responsible when they burn out - we don't want them to make the environment worse!
