Fluorescent bulb recycling<br />
Fluorescent lamps contain mercury and<br />
are considered a hazardous waste product. It is<br />
against the law to dispose of fluorescent bulbs<br />
and ballasts with your regular garbage. Fluorescent<br />
bulb recycling will be held in the former<br />
Kmart parking lot on Thursday, October<br />
4th, from 9:00 am-1:00 pm. This recycling event<br />
serves the residents and businesses of Martin<br />
and Faribault Counties. When transporting the<br />
lamps, be careful not to break them. There will<br />
be a charge at the time of disposal.<br />
Fairmont Public Utilities Customers are<br />
eligible for total reimbursement for bulb recycling<br />
costs. When dropping bulbs off for recycling,<br />
ask for a rebate coupon, keep your receipt,<br />
and turn both in to Fairmont Public Utilities for<br />
reimbursement of recycling costs. Contact the<br />
Fairmont Area <strong>Chamber</strong> of Commerce with any<br />
questions at (507) 235-5547.<br />
