Fluorescent & LED Bulb Recycling In Louisiana

Why Recycle CFL & LED Bulbs in Louisiana

According to the Louisiana Department of Universal Waste, “Universal Waste must be managed in a way that prevents releases to the environment. This means that all Universal Waste must be stored as follows: Batteries, lamps and thermostats that show evidence of leaks, spills, or damage that could cause leaks must be kept in a container that is closed, structurally sound, and compatible with the contents. Lamp containers must prevent the breaking of the lamps and must remain closed. Universal Waste pesticides and antifreeze must be kept in a container, tank, or other vessel that remains closed, is structurally sound, compatible with the Universal Waste, and that lacks evidence of leaks, spills, or damage that could cause leaks. If a container develops a leak, it should be moved into an over pack container. You must immediately clean up and place in a container any broken lamp or lamp that shows evidence of breakage, leaks, or damage that could cause the release of mercury or other hazardous constituents to the environment.”

Please Note:  If you are a residential customer and have less than 40 bulbs, contact your local city hall and ask if your city has drop off locations for its residents to dispose of light bulbs.

How BulbCycle’s Process Works

Fluorescent Bulb Recycling Kits

  1. Our pre-paid recycling program is for lamps/bulbs, exit signs, ballasts, batteries, electronics and thermostats. Each kit’s price includes a container, all shipping costs to the recycling center, recycling costs and a certificate of recycling. You should receive your container(s) in 3-8 business days or less once ordered. You have one year to return them to us. On the website businesses can choose which containers will best serve their needs. Containers are available for fluorescent lamps, CFLs, ballasts, batteries, electronics, and thermostats.
  2. Once the containers have been received a business can fill them up at their own pace. Each container is pre-printed with simple step-by-step instructions in both English and Spanish.
  3. When a container is filled and sealed, the business can call the FedEx phone number that comes on each box to schedule a pre-paid pickup from their location. The filled container will be delivered for recycling to one of BulbCycle’s permitted facilities located within the United States.

If you would like to pay by invoice with net payment terms and purchase orders please ask our representatives for our vendor program forms.
