MEMORANDUM

Posted: January 9, 2013 10:25 AM
From: Representative Marguerite Quinn
To: All House members
Subject: INCLUSION OF FLOUROESCENT LAMPS & TUBES IN MUNICIPAL RECYCLING PROGRAMS
 
In the near future, I will re-introduce my former HB 1394, which would permit the inclusion of all varieties of fluorescent lamps and tubes in the list of eligible materials that can be accepted in municipal recycling programs. Passage of this bill will encourage greater recycling of these bulbs, which will keep them from our local landfills and provide a positive reuse of these materials.

Fluorescent lighting should not be thrown away when worn out. Consumers should be able to recycle these bulbs. However, such recycling will require legislation that allows for the inclusion of these types of materials in our municipal recycling programs. My proposal does just that by creating additional options for the recycling of this technology in our municipalities.

Please join me in sponsoring this much needed legislation to bring our current municipal recycling programs up to speed with current lighting options.
