CFL Recycling

As energy-efficient lighting becomes more prevalent, it is important that the products are disposed of in a safe, responsible manner. Compact fluorescent lights (CFL) contain a small amount of mercury- the size of a pin drop - that allows the bulbs to burn efficiently. It is imperative that consumers seek out CFL recycling opportunities within their communities and help prevent large accumulations of bulbs in landfills.
