Now That's Interesting!

I'm sure someone was walking through the Plaza with e 4 foot fluorescent lamp in tow and decided to drop it into this large trash can. NOT! Get a grip Barrie, the taxpayers are paying for commercial trash pickup on the Plaza.

Oh, so you know, it's against the law to throw away these fluorescent lamps, believe it or not. It's considered hazardous waste because of the mercury inside of the lamp. So it's interesting that Folks are throwing away fluorescent lamps in the City's Dumpsters. It not only save you money, it saves you from also finding a hazardous waste area to get rid of them.

If you ever see anyone throwing these lamps into a dumpster and busting them, let them know that they'll more than likely get a very serious case of cancer from the mercury they breathe in. Not something the Government is going to inform you of but it's a fact. For those who would like to challenge this, look up the word mercury. Do also note that this lamp is not green on the end, therefore it has a much higher mercury content inside the lamp too.
