Fluorescent Lamp Recycling Kick-Off

Kick off Earth Day by recycling your fluorescent bulbs.  The City of Napa recognizes how difficult (and expensive) it can be to dispose of these bulbs properly and has forged a partnership with Leadership Napa Valley, Napa County, PG&E, as well as four participating retailers to take-back lamps from the public:  , , , and .  The event will be at the Central Valley Builders Supply where local elected officials and project partners will explain the new program and encourage the public to participate. If these bulbs, filled with mercury, go to landfill they produce toxins that are hazardous to the environment.  Be good to the Earth, it's the only one we have and bring your bulbs over to Central Valley Builders Supply.
