Lamp Types

Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL’s): Smaller versions of the standard
tube-style fluorescent lamps and can be used in place of standard incandescent lamps. CFLs are more energy efficient and last longer than incandescent lamps. These lamps contain levels of mercury that require proper disposal and special cleanup if broken.

Tube-style Fluorescent Lamps: Commonly used as overhead lighting in office buildings, these lamps also come in compact shapes for a variety of other uses for both the home and office.

Mercury Vapor Lamps: These are the original high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps with blue/white light. They were originally designed for farmyard lighting.

Metal Halide Lamps: These are newer, more efficient HID lights found in homes, businesses and institutions. They are also used for headlights and can be spotted by their bright, blue-tinted light.

High-Pressure Sodium-Vapor Lamps: These lamps generate white-yellow light used for street lamps and outdoor security lighting.

Benefits of Recycling Light Bulbs: Glass does not lose any of its durability or quality when recycled. The United States requires all newly manufactured glass products to contain at least 35 percent recycled glass. When lamps are recycled at the end of their usable lives, less than one-tenth of one ton of mercury is released into the air.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you recycle aluminum cans and plastic bottles?

No we do not. We are a Universal Waste Recycle for commercial business.

What Do Batteries do to the environment if not properly recycled?

When thrown in the household trash, batteries end up in landfills. As the battery casing corrodes, chemicals leach into the soil and make their way into our water supply. Eventually they reach the ocean.

Do LED Bulbs need to be recycled?

Yes. LED light bulbs are to be recycled in the same manner as incandescent bulbs and halogen bulbs.

How should I clean up a broken fluorescent bulb?

a. Have people and pets leave the room.
b. Collect materials needed to clean up
broken bulb (i.e. gloves, glasses).
c. Be thorough in collecting broken glass
and visible powder.

d. Place cleanup materials in a sealable
container.
e. Promptly place all bulb debris and
cleanup materials outdoors in a
protected area until materials can be
disposed of properly. Avoid leaving any
bulb fragments or cleanup materials
indoors.

f. Air out the room for 5-10 minutes by
opening a window or door.

Can I just throw my bulbs in the garbage can?

CFL bulbs (or Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs) contain a small amount of mercury. Each bulb contains about four milligrams of the toxic metal. Although that is only a fraction of the amount of mercury in those old school thermometers, broken CFL bulbs can be damaging to the environment if they enter landfills or the water supply.

Where can I recycle my household waste?

Please contact your County Household Waste Department.

Can we drop off at your location?

No. We are not a drop off facility. Please call for commercial pick up 800-884-8982.
