The Ace Hardware stores in Delta and Hotchkiss are now accepting used CFLs  (Compact Florescent Lightbulbs)  for recycling.  These are the small bulbs you use in a lamp or light fixture, not to be confused with the larger tubes.

Phone them for more information: Delta 874-9515  Hotchkiss  872-3535.

Please note this post pertains to the recycling event held in Spring of 2008!

Delta County residents will have the opportunity to recycle old electronic items on April 26^th, 2008 from 10-2 in the southeast corner parking lot of the Delta Wal-Mart.  Citizens should take advantage of this one- day event, as there is currently no way to legally and responsibly dispose of electronics in Delta County.  You will be able to recycle cell phones, all computer components, TVs, fax machines, scanners, stereos and VCRs.

The recycling poster is available. This one is formatted to fit on two pages of 8.5 X 11 inch paper.

We’ve added a link to download this new version in the top, right corner of the site. (more…)
