Why CFL?

Why Compact Fluorescent Bulbs

If every American home replaced just one light bulb with an ENERGY STAR qualified CFL bulb, we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year, more than $600 million in annual energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars.   More information is available on the Energy Star website. 

We recycle FLUORESCENT LAMP TUBES — all sizes and shapes.  Store and package your bulbs in the original cardboard box, if possible. Broken or cracked bulbs are not recyclable!More information is available in the Solid Waste & Recycling Program Guide.
