Wow, had all these fluorescent tubes left over from converting the house to LED bulbs. The high mercury content is not good for landfill disposal. Ordered a Standard box, and when it arrived, I was able to safely dispose of all my tubes. Simple and easy to use, and helps the environment. Great customer service. Andrew really helped me a great deal.

Why Recycle CFL & LED Bulbs in the State of Oregon
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.
According to the State of Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, "fluorescent lamps are classified as universal waste, and a generator of waste fluorescent lamps who wishes to manage those lamps in accordance with the reduced Universal Waste requirements must follow some very simple requirements:
- Store unbroken waste lamps in closed, structurally sound packages marked with Universal Waste Lamps, Waste Lamps, or Used Lamps.
- Maintain documentation, by either marking the date on which waste lamps were first placed into storage or any other method that clearly demonstrates the length of time the lamps have been stored, showing that the waste fluorescent lamps have not been stored for longer than one year.
- Train employees in proper handling and emergency procedures.
- Clean up broken lamps.
- Ensure lamps are delivered to a facility that can recycle them, or to another facility authorized to receive the lamps."
At a glance:
- Recycling fluorescent lamps IS required by the State of Oregon
- Crushing fluorescent bulbs is NOT allowed in Oregon
- Pre-paid mail back recycling IS allowed in the state of Oregon
Why is Recycling Fluorescent & LED Bulbs Important?
Recycling fluorescent and LED bulbs properly is vital for several key reasons:
Fluorescent bulbs, including compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), contain mercury, a toxic substance that can contaminate soil and water if disposed of improperly. Recycling these bulbs prevents mercury from ending up in landfills and leaching into the environment.
LED bulbs, while not as hazardous as fluorescent bulbs, still contain electronic components that need to be handled responsibly. Recycling both fluorescent and LED bulbs ensures that toxic materials are properly separated and do not contribute to hazardous waste buildup.
Fluorescent and LED bulbs contain valuable materials like glass, metals, and phosphor coatings that can be reused in the production of new bulbs or other products. Recycling helps conserve natural resources by reducing the need for virgin materials.
Many states have strict laws about the disposal of universal waste, including fluorescent and LED bulbs. Under hazardous waste regulations, these items must not be thrown away with regular trash. Recycling helps businesses comply with the law and avoid fines.
