I'm passing this info along...
So Cal Edison is sponsoring an event which will take in halogen torchieres
lamps, and sell replacement flourescent lamps. They are looking for a local
company which can recycle the halogen lights/lamps. If you know of any
companies that are capable of doing this please call Jane Wilson at
206-623-0232.
Thanks.

**** I apologize for any cross-postings. ****
I am organizing a session at the National Recycling Congress in Albuquerque,
New Mexico on September 15, 1998 entitled "Zero Waste Case Studies."
As a handout at that session, I would like to list companies who have achieved
greater than 90% recycling, or those who have adopted Zero Waste as a goal.
Following is a list of those companies in California that reported greater
than 90% diversion.
Please email me any suggestions you may have of companies like these,
including company name, location, contact person, phone, fax and/or email
address.
Please forward copy of this request to any friends who can help.
Thanks!
