On October 24, 2008 Painesville City Fire Department held its annual Fire Prevention Poster Awards Ceremony honoring 4th and 5th grade student works of art. This year's poster theme was "Prevent Home Fires". Lt. Tom Orban presented the winners with prizes and certificates.  Over one hundred entries were received this year. All the students did a fantastic job!

What do I do with a CFL light bulb (Compact Fluorescent Lamp) when it burns out?

Like paint, batteries, thermostats and other hazardous household items, CFLs should be disposed of properly.  Do not throw CFLs away in your household garbage if there is a better disposal option. In our area The Home Depot located at 9615 Diamond Center Road has a recycling bin near their Returns Department. This is a free service. They do not accept long tubes. They can be reached at 440-357-0428. For other locations please go to http://www.recycleabulb.com/. The only other option is to place the CFL in a plastic bag and seal it before putting it in the trash.

Thanks to all the Painesville Electric customers who participated in the light bulb exchange!
