Lamp Recycling Project
Vermonters buy over a million energy-efficient fluorescent bulbs every year. Fluorescent bulbs 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.
and ACE 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. If you have
questions regarding this project contact the Mercury Hotline.
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.)
