Retail Takeback in Napa Valley!

In addition to its most famous green attraction, the grapevines used make world class wines, the Napa Valley is greening itself in another important way. Central Valley Builders Supply, a local hardware, garden and lumber business, is offering its customers the ability to turn in old fluorescent light bulbs, compact fluorescents (CFLs), batteries, and more. The service is free and the retailer repackages the light bulbs into suitable shipping containers and delivers them to the Napa County Permanent HHW Collection Facility, in cooperation with the local government agencies.
