. . . Decorating with Care
Remember safety and take extra care as you hang
all your holiday decorations and lights.
• Make sure lights and electric decorations have the
UL seal
• Be sure anything electrical put outdoors is labeled for
outdoor use
• Don't handle lights while they're plugged in
• Don't string too many lights together or overload sockets
• Never use cords that are frayed or damaged
• Don't run extension cords in traffic paths or over metal
• Make sure lights aren't touching paper or metal
• Keep electrical decorations away from water
• When using a ladder, keep it away from power lines
• Always unplug lights when you leave home or go to bed
• Keep real trees watered
• LED lights are safer, use less power and last much longer*
. . . Helping Others with Care
By contributing to Project: People Who Care, you can help your
neighbors in need pay their utility bills. PWC customers can
add donations to their PWC bill payment. (Bank draft customers
should call 223-4134.) Others can send donations to:
Project: P.W.C. • P.O. Box 7000 • Fayetteville, NC 28302
. . . Treating Our Environment with Care
Give your holiday tree a proper send-off. Rather than tossing it in the
trash, recycle it*. You'll be doing our local parks a big favor! For 23
years Fayetteville PWC, the City of Fayetteville, and Duke Energy
Progress have partnered to recycle trees as mulch.
Fayetteville-Cumberland County Parks and Rec will use the mulch
for beds and paths. If you live within city limits, please put your
tree out for pick-up by the
morning of January 9, 2017. Or
drop off your tree at the Community
Garden (intersection of Vanstory and
Mann Streets) any time before 9:00am
on Saturday, January 14th.
