LADWP Giving Away Compact Flourescent Lightbulbs (CFL)

The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) is delivering two FREE compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL) to our residential customers. Delivery teams will be in your area over the next few months to provide you with a bag containing your free bulbs and conservation information.

Why is the LADWP Providing CFLs?

CFLs are one of the simplest and most effective energy savings tools available. One CFL can reduce an annual electric bill by $8 to $10. Just think of how much money you can save on electricity if you replaced every bulb in your home with a CFL! And, the savings continues because a CFL bulb will last 10,000 hours compared to 1,000 hours for a traditional bulb.

WHEN YOU RECEIVE YOUR FREE BULBS INSTALL THEM IMMEDIATELY AND START SAVING MONEY!

Proper CFL Disposal

Please follow the instructions on the box regarding proper disposal. CFLs may be disposed of at LADWP Customer Service Center collection bins or at City S.A.F.E. recycling centers. Call the Household Hazardous Waste Hotline at 1-800-988-6942 (press option 2) or log on to www.lacity.org/SAN/index.htm, and select "Universal Waste" for more disposal information.

For more information regarding the CFL distribution visit www.ladwp.com or call (213) 367-4614.
