Re: [greenyes] Mercury in the waste stream: Targeting fluorescent lamps


How would you pay for that program? The city would be absorbing the disposal costs for each lamp from all sources including LQGs who were savvy enough to bring the lamps to these 'unsupervised' drop-offs. Any financing options?

I would imagine that a good way to encourage proper disposal of fl lamps
is to ask stores such as Home Depot, Lowe's and other retail stores that
sell large number of Fl lamps/bulbs to have customers carefully bring in
their used lamps to the store and put them into a plastic lined box made
for such.
Maybe the City could pass an ordinance to have this done for all retailers
of fl lamps.
