Pledge to change a light

SRP has made a commitment to do its part to save energy and help protect the environment. Please join us and pledge ENERGY STAR Change a Light logoto change at least one light bulb in your home to an energy-efficient compact fluorescent light (CFL) one. Help us reach our goal of 100,000 replaced bulbs. It's a small step that's already making a big difference.

By inspiring 100,000 people to take the ENERGY STAR Change a Light Pledge, together we save 28,200,000 kWh of energy, $2.8 million in energy costs and prevent 44,600,000 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions.

Proper bulb disposal

While ENERGY STAR-qualified CFLs can last more than seven years, they will eventually wear out. Similar to household items such as batteries, electronics and paint, used-up CFLs should be disposed of properly.

Your local city solid waste management department can provide you with information and advice on CFL disposal. Many Valley cities and towns accept spent CFLs at recycling collection events scheduled throughout the year. To find out what your city or county does, select from the links below:
