New Drop-Off Sites for CFLs & Batteries!

Just recently, we've added our first drop-off site in NoPa, a great new location in SOMA, and yet another location in the Sunset for a total of three (last year we had none!).  All three sites collect fluorescent lights and batteries from residents for recycling:
A big thanks to these merchants for partnering with the City to keep San Francisco safe and healthy. For a full list of recycling & disposal services in San Francisco, don't forget about the EcoFinder!
