Junk mail is a waste of
time and resources. More
than 100 million trees are cut down every year to produce the
100 billion pieces of junk mail sent out to American homes.
To reduce your junk mail, you need to reduce access to your
name and address so that it won't be traded or sold.
Contact the Direct Marketing Association. The Direct
Marketing Association (DMA) is the single largest provider of
direct mail lists. They charge a $1 fee if you send your
request by mail or you can submit through the
online form at www.dmachoice.org

leaves, twigs, grass clippings and vegetable food waste. Compost is the soil amendment product that
results from proper composting. You can make your own compost at home—pile
or worm composting—or put your compostable items in the curbside yard debris cart for the municipal composting program.

FLUORESCENT LAMPS & BALLASTS
Why do fluorescent lamps need
special disposal? Fluorescent lamps contain mercury
www.recyclenow.org
vapor. Although the amount of mercury
vapor in each lamp is small, care should
still be taken in handling and disposing
of fluorescent lamps.
All kinds of fluorescent lamps
What if a lamp breaks?
Lowe's www.lowes.com
• Open a window and leave the room
for 15 minutes or more.
• Turn off central heat/air conditioning.
• Collect the pieces using a stiff piece of
paper, such as an index card.
• Pat the area with the sticky side of
packing tape to remove glass shards.
• Put all material into a sealed
container.
• Broken bulbs are accepted at the
Household Toxics Facility; see pg. 2.
About ballasts: Polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs) were discontinued for use in
fluorescent ballasts manufactured after 1979. Typically, ballasts
that do not contain PCBs are labeled with a sticker. Ballasts without labels
must be disposed of as hazardous waste. While non-PCB ballasts can be
disposed of as garbage, it is environmentally preferable to recycle them as
scrap metal; see listing below. Do not put ballasts in the curbside recycling
cart.

The following
restaurants accept
10 gallons or less of
clean strained vegetable oil.
Oil becomes biodiesel for use in
cars and trucks.
Congealed animal fats, such as
bacon grease, can be disposed of
in the garbage.
How to drop off vegetable
cooking oil:
• Visit restaurants during
daylight and business hours.
• Ask for assistance in locating
the cooking oil/grease
collection barrel.
• Always replace the lid
on the barrel. Rainwater
contaminates the oil!
• Clean up any spills.
• Take home your container for
reuse or recycling. Do not
leave containers.
