While the energy savings from new types of light bulbs are very welcome, they are still a work in progress and we have to exercise some care in their disposal. The correct methods of disposal may vary from state to state. These general guidelines will help you be sure your used bulbs are not contributing to pollution, either in your home or as part of the bigger picture. This guide will detail all youneed to know to remove either whole or broken bulbs from your home to an EPA approved place.
Disposal of Non-CFL Light Bulbs
Broken or whole light bulbs are always at risk of injuring your trash collection workers, unless clearly marked. Double-bagging can help safeguard workers from cuts, especially from broken bulbs. To remove this risk completely, consider adding them to your recycling collection, or starting one if you do not have this set up. For a few minutes work, you gain the satisfaction of knowing your trash is not a part of the global problem.
