A CFL bulb recycling bucket is located at the entrance of the Marshall Public Library. Broken bulbs or long tubes are not accepted.  Bulbs may also be delivered to the EnerStar Electric Cooperative office in Paris. In addition, EnerStar accepts used oil at the cooperative office from residential “do-it-yourselfers.” Before draining the oil, be sure you have a suitable container on hand, one that can be sealed and transported. Also, be sure that you do not mix the oil with other liquids such as antifreeze, gasoline, paint thinner, brake fluid or water.
