Protecting Our Silicon Valley Environment
September 21, 2009 by Tom Stynes · Leave a Comment
Often we don’t think about what we throw away. For example, how do you dispose of old, burnt out florescent lamps? Did you know florescent lamps can contain small amounts of mercury, a toxic pollutant?
When mercury-containing lights are improperly disposed or break, the toxic pollutant can be transported by air and runoff from rain can get in to our creeks and Bay. The good news we have options, many of the local Silicon Valley Communities have set up disposal options. For example, as a Sunnyvale resident I can bring these toxic lights as well as button batteries, thermometers, and thermostats to the Sunnyvale SMaRT station at 301 Carl Road. For more information check out their website.
Take the next set, check with your local city officials to see how you can properly dispose the mercury contained fluorescent lights and other toxic waste. Be a friend to the environment.
