North Bay Mercury Pollution Prevention
Fluorescent Lamp Recycling Pilot Project

The The Mercury Pollution Prevention Program is an ongoing program focusing on the development of outreach materials and implementing strategies intended to minimize release of mercury into San Francisco and San Pablo bays from different sources. One part of the Mercury Pollution Prevention Program is the Fluorescent Lamp Recycling Pilot Project:

Fluorescent Lamp Recycling Pilot Project – While fluorescent lamps save energy, they contain mercury and therefore must be disposed of properly. NBWA member agencies have begun a pilot project to help residents of the North Bay recycle their fluorescent bulbs more easily. Three North Bay hardware stores have teamed with NBWA to set up recycling bins at their stores for use bulbs.
