It seems to me that there should be just as much concern about recycling incandescent light bulbs as there is about fluorescent light bulbs. Incandescent light bulbs contain lead at levels that exceed hazardous waste limits and release more mercury into the the environment than fluorescent bulbs. ( per http://www.clutterfreeservices.com) So many people throw them into the regular trash. I can’t find anywhere— including http://www.earth911.com—( either drop-off or mail in service ) that takes incandescent bulbs. I am switching over to the fluorescent bulbs, but where do I recycle the old incandescent ones???

Global Disposal Reduction Services will audit apartment buildings and HOA’s at no cost to the owners and produce a report telling them how much trash and recycling is being produced. The report gives cost saving ways to improve the facilities sustainability while increasing the facilities efficiency.

I really hope this passes because i no a lot of people who live in apartments that want to recycle more but don’t because of the hassle. Providing bins would encourage recycling in buildings where large amounts of trash are picked up daily. I think this will have a positive effect on the planet in the long run.
