Besides District Household Hazardous Waste Collections held spring through fall, residents can recycle fluorescent bulbs at the following businesses throughout the year. Please contact the businesses directly for directions and details.
Traveling With Bulbs: Package your spent fluorescent bulbs carefully for the trip. Wrap them in bubble wrap or other packing material, and place them in a container so they won’t roll around and be at risk of breaking. And carefully place them as far from passengers as possible for the trip–in a car trunk or at the back of the vehicle.
