The district will not accept: Paint, pesticides, CFL and other fluorescent light bulbs or chemicals.
The district is clearing out the old accumulation of hazardous materials at a substantial cost to the district for disposal.

"The district will not accept: Paint, pesticides, CFL and other fluorescent light bulbs or chemicals"
Houston, we have a problem!! We are being forced under law (federal in a couple of years) and now under state law to use CFLs (State energy/green bill) and First Energy's CFL program. Yet, we do not have a place to recycle these hazardous items. How are we going to do this? Who pays for the hazmat team when we put this items in the trash? Is this another hidden "tax" we are forced to pay??? Time to start letting our representatives know this is not good government!!! |
