Bulb Disposal
Compact Fluorescent Lamps must be disposed of in proper recycling facilities to avoid potential environmental impacts. Check with your local Household Hazardous Waste collection facility to see if they accept CFLs, otherwise contact your local waste management agency. You can also recycle your used CFL bulbs at any Home Depot, free of charge.
