Why Recycle CFL & LED Bulbs in the State of Pennsylvania

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 Pennsylvania https://www.dep.pa.gov/Business/Land/Waste/SolidWaste/HazardousWaste/UniversalWastes/Pages/default.aspx , “Universal wastes are certain hazardous wastes that are generated by a large cross section of the regulated community and include such wastes as batteries, pesticides, mercury containing equipment, lamps and aerosol cans:

  • 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.”

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.
