CFL Disposal - Colorado Springs, CO

Submitted by LizO on March 21, 2008 - 08:53.

Good news for those living in El Paso County, CO and Teller County, CO - El Paso County has a household waste program that also includes disposal of CFLs.

According to their PDF file:

"The El Paso County Household Chemical Waste Collection Facility accepts the following items that contain mercury: fever thermometers, light switches, thermostats, and fluorescent lights that do NOT have green tips (green tips indicate environmentally friendly products that can be safely discarded with household trash.)"

They also have a very extensive recycling program for chemicals, electronics, batteries and other items.

I urge those in my area to check out their website at:

They can be reached at 719-250-7878
