CFL and Fluorescent Disposal Options
Compact Fluorescent Lights last longer and use less energy than traditional light bulbs. But what do you do with them when they do go bad. As a resident of Scottsdale you have several options for disposing of CFL/Fluorescent light bulbs:
1) You can bring them to one of the City’s 3 Household Hazardous Waste days. Household Hazardous Waste Disposal Locations
2) You can take them to any Home Depot, Ace Hardware or Ikea’s customer service desks.
3) You can place them in a plastic bag and simply bag and tie them and then place them in your regular trash. (Our landfill is lined, sealed and monitored to prevent any impact on the surrounding environment).
For more information on CFL disposal options please contact your local power provider.
Digital TV Conversion
Did you know that in February of 2009 all "over the air" television signals will be converted to digital? This change from analog to digital will only affect your television reception if you are using an outdoor type of antenna (aerial) or a set of “rabbit ears”. If you have cable TV or satellite TV service you should not be affected by this change. If you have any questions please give us a call at 480-312-5600 or you can follow the link to the Federal Communications Commission’s website for further information.
