Shedding light on fluorescent lamp disposal Eugene Water & Electric Board, along with other local public utilities, Lane County Waste Management and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, is currently promoting a compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) disposal program for residential electric utility customers. The consortium is working with local retailers to make recycling of CFLs and fluorescent tubes up to four feet long easier for residents in Lane County.
