Santa Cruz launches fluorescent bulb recycling

Santa Cruz County is starting a new program to get more people to recycle compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs). CFLs contain a small amount of mercury which can harm the environment if the bulbs are not properly recycled. The program will establish recycling drop-offs at 13 businesses throughout the county:
