Lamp (Bulb) Recycling Program
Vermonters buy over a million energy-efficient fluorescent bulbs every year. Fluorescent bulbs (including compact fluorescent lamps-CFLs) contain mercury. When they are thrown in the
trash, mercury is released into the environment and ends up in the fish we eat. Mercury containing bulbs, by Vermont law, cannot be placed
in the regular trash but instead must be recycled.
What kinds of bulbs contain mercury?
- 8' or 4' linear fluorescent bulbs
- Compact fluorescent bulbs
- Linear fluorescent bulbs such as - tanning bulbs, grow bulbs, black lights and smaller (12", 18", 24" etc.) bulbs
- U-tubes
- Circular fluorescent bulbs
- HID car headlights (appear blue when lit)
- High Intenisty Discharge (HID) bulbs (such as: mercury vapor, metal halide, etc.)
Currently, there are two established programs for mercury fluorescent bulb recycling:
hardware stores have teamed up with the state of Vermont to offer
free recycling for Vermont residents of up to six fluorescent
and other mercury-containing bulbs per visit.
- Efficiency Vermont is offering free recycling for Vermont residents of CFL (Compact Fluorescent Bulbs) only at lighting partner locations across the state.
Note: Broken bulbs are not accepted at these locations. If you have
questions regarding this program contact the Mercury Hotline at 1-800-974-9559 (dial 1).
