For the Best Quality and Service Call WEB SITE: www.cpp-pipe.com been recycling cusfomers' ul batteries and fluorescent liehts the past year. However, the store's efforts really took off last month when it began participating in a recycli program sponsored by the local waste management agency.

"We are excited to participate and hope that residents will see how easy it is to properly recycle their fluorescent light bulbs and tubes," says owner Linda Roark.

The local agency provided advice and signs"Recycle Here, Buy Here"-for participating dealers, plus ads in local newspapers that publicized the program's June 9 kick-off.

According to store manager Jason Roark, the newspaper ads raised local awareness of recycling and the signs-placed in the front of the store and in the lighting aisle-were instrumental in encouraging homeowners to bring in their used bulbs. He says that store employees also discussed the recycling program in their interactions with customers.

Jason says that customers appreciated the store's participation, which entails accepting, sorting, counting, and storing the bulbs in a back room before they are transported to a central recycling site once a month.

"There is some work involved and you've got to be organized," he advises. "But it's another service we offer the community."
