Recycle Information
Compact florescent light bulbs save a great deal of energy. We use
them at school when possible. Unfortunately when they burn out
they recommend you not put them in your household trash due to the
mercury content.
Home Depot and the PUD office recycle old compact florescent light
bulbs.
