Environmental Tip

Did you know that while compact fluorescent light bulbs save energy over regular incandescent lights, they contain hazardous materials inside them? You can dispose of them correctly by taking them to a County HHW Roundup (www.cleanla.com) or at the ACE Hardware in town, located at 303 S. Diamond Bar Blvd. For more information visit the City website or call (909) 839-7000.
