The Pubic Works Department of the County of Marin is spreading the word about a new and free Household Hazardous Waste Recycling Program for residents called "Bulb and Battery Take-Back Program", or simply 'The
BnB'.

The goal is to simply reduce and eliminate the amount of illegally disposed of hazardous waste from household products like florescent bulbs, tubes and batteries. To facilitate this; 10 local businesses have volunteered to serve as convenient collection points for residents to drop off their spent tubes, bulbs and batteries. Take the spent items with you while you're shopping and deposit them at the collection location's BnB bin for free. That's it! The Civic Center Library is collecting household batteries as well.

More information on this program is in a printable PDF attached to this email or go to our program website (click HERE ).

Additional information on Household Hazardous Waste disposal at other location is available at our program website (click Here).
