Join EPB this Sunday, August 10, at the Chattanooga Market from noon to 5 p.m. for “CFL Sunday,” a fun way to learn about energy savings and electric safety.  At the Market, EPB employees will be on hand to give away 3,000 free Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs (CFLs) and collect used CFLs for recycling.

CFLs use up to 75 percent less electricity than traditional light bulbs and last up to ten times longer, which results in both energy and cost savings. Because the light bulbs contain small amounts of mercury and should be disposed of properly, EPB will take CFLs that customers bring to the Market this week for delivery to appropriate recycling centers.

At “CFL Sunday”, there will also be demonstrations by an EPB energy expert on energy efficiency tips that any customer can implement in their home to reduce their electricity use.  There will also be demonstrations to teach children how to be safe around electricity.

EPB, a sponsor of the Chattanooga Market, hosts a booth at the Market every first and third Sunday of the month to provide energy saving tips and answer customer questions about electricity use.
