Bartell Drugs is the first drugstore chain in the Northwest to provide free recycling of CFL (compact fluorescent) light bulbs at all 56 of its locations as part of a new pilot recycling program.

The chain has teamed up with Total Reclaim, a locally-owned, Seattle-based recycling firm and its EcoLights division - the only permitted “final destination” fluorescent lamp recycling facility in Washington state.

A complete list of Bartell’s locations in King County is available at www.bartelldrugs.com.
