Do not put fluorescent bulbs or tubes in the trash or recycling. These contain mercury, a potent neurotoxin, and must be taken to a drop-off collection site. Keep bulbs and tubes dry.
Free drop-off collection sites
Type your zip code into the LightRecycle WA Collection Site Locator to find a free drop-off site for fluorescent tubes, CFLs, and other bulbs containing mercury. Adjust the search radius if the tool only shows locations across the water. Limit 10 bulbs/tubes per day, per person.
Identifying mercury bulbs
How can you tell if your bulb contains mercury and needs to be recycled? Look for the letters "Hg" (the symbol for mercury) on the base of the lamp or on the packaging.
