How Do You Dispose Of Cfl Bulbs?
CFL bulbs contain small amount of mercury and should not be disposed of in the regular trash bins. Instead, they should be taken to a hazardous waste recycling facility or drop-off location for safe disposal. Some stores like Home Depot and IKEA have CFL recycling programs, allowing customers to bring in used CFL bulbs for proper disposal. It is important to avoid breaking the bulbs to prevent any mercury exposure and to recycle them properly to reduce their impact on the environment.
