💡Here's your guide on how to dispose of light bulbs!

✅🗑️ Trash: Halogen, incandescent, LED, and infrared bulbs do not contain hazardous materials and can go in your regular household trash.

⚠️ Keep mercury-containing bulbs OUT of the landfill and blue-bin recycling! These should be brought to a CSWD Drop-Off Center or the Environmental Depot (by appointment only) for proper disposal.
We accept up to 10 per day of the following mercury-containing bulbs at any Drop-Off Center:
💡 Fluorescent tubes
💡 Circulines
💡 High-Intensity Discharge (HID)
💡 Mercury V***r
💡 U-Tube
To dispose of larger quantities, schedule an appointment at the Environmental Depot.

Thanks for keeping hazardous waste out of the landfill! 🌍♻️
