Small Businesses:
Save Money & Recycle Your Fluorescent Lights Free of Charge!!!
If
you operate a small business, the San Diego County Department
of Environmental Health wants to save you money by helping you
recycle your fluorescent lights free of charge. To qualify for
this opportunity, businesses must be located in San Diego County.
State law requires everyone to recycle fluorescent lights, which
can cost small businesses hundreds of dollars a year. Thanks to
an Energy Efficiency & Conservation Block Grant from the Department
of Energy, the County is currently able to offer small businesses
a limited time opportunity to properly recycle lamps at no cost.

10 Things
About Smart Meters & Solar - by HelioPower
Millions of smart meters are being installed on homes across California.
Mandated by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC),
San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) are installing smart meters at
residential and business customer properties. Smart meters are
the residential point of information collection for the Smart
Grid. They will connect your home to smart grid in much the same
way a cable or DSL modem connects your home to the internet. While
most homeowners are familiar with the installation of smart meters
on their homes, many are seeking more information about the smart
meters’ impact on their electric bills and their ability to lower
or control their electricity costs with solar in this new “smart
grid” enabled world. Click
