Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) is any type of household product that you would like to discard and is labeled with any of the following words:
HHW must be handled and disposed of with care in order to avoid polluting the environment and possible health hazards.
Switching from traditional light bulbs to CFLs is an effective, accessible change every American can make right now to reduce energy use at home and prevent greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global climate change.
Lighting accounts for close to 20 percent of the average home’s electric bill. Changing to CFLs costs little upfront and provides a quick return on investment.
