Did you know that Low Energy Light Bulbs contain mercury and, en masse, are very harmful on the environment?
The Community Bulb Recycling Alliance is looking for volunteers to collect low-energy light bulbs safely.
The scheme allows volunteers to collect CFLs on behalf of their communities using specially designed boxes which, once full, can be taken by the volunteer to a nearby 'Bulking Up' centre where the bags will be taken for safe recycling. Normally this would take less than 1/2 hours work every 6-8 weeks but has a huge impact on getting into otherwise hard to reach areas environmentally inefficiently.
The nearest bulking up centres to Penrith are in Carlisle (Premier Electrical Ltd CA2 5DF) and Keswick (Electrical Trade Supplies CA12 5NR)
