How BulbCycle's Program Works

1. Select your kit

Select and purchase the containers for the items you need to dispose of. Our recycling program offers kits for fluorescent lamps/bulbs, LED bulbs, CFLs, ballasts, batteries, electronics, mercury devices and more!

2. Receive and fill with waste

Simply pack the kit at your own pace with your waste. Each kit includes a container, all shipping fees, recycling costs and a certificate of recycling. You will receive your container(s) in 6-11 business days. Don't worry, you have a full year to return them to us.

3. Schedule pickup via FedEx

All of our products ship with a pre-paid FedEx return shipping label. Once your container is full and sealed, call the FedEx phone number that comes on each box to schedule a pre-paid pickup, or drop it off at a FedEx location. The filled container will be delivered for recycling to one of BulbCycle’s permitted facilities located within the United States.

4. Request Certificate of Recycling

After your waste has been received and processed, you can request your certificate by logging into the website provided on your recycling kit. Please allow three weeks for processing.

What is the difference between fluorescent and LED bulbs?

Fluorescent tubes contain mercury vapor, converting UV rays via a fluorescent coating for illumination. They exist in two forms: tube lights and compact fluorescent lights (CFLs).

LED bulbs utilize a solid-state semiconductor called a light-emitting diode (LED) for light emission. LED tube lights serve as efficient alternatives to fluorescent tubes in commercial spaces, as they don't require ballasts and are more energy efficient. LED bulbs are available in diverse shapes, sizes, and stylish designs.

Why do you need to recycle LED bulbs?

It's important to recycle LED bulbs because they contain small amounts of hazardous materials such as lead and arsenic, which can be harmful to the environment if not properly disposed of.

What is a T12, T8, or T5 lamp?

T12, T8 and T5 lamps are all based on the tube's diameter. Applicable to fluorescent and LED lamps, the 12, 8 and 5 refers to the sizing. The measurements are done in increments of an eighth of an inch, so a T12 lamp is twelve-eighths of an inch (hence the "12"), or 1.5 inches. A T8 lamp is 8-eighths of an inch, or one inch, and a T5 is five eighths of an inch, or .625 inch. T2 bulbs are 1/4" in diameter.

 

You can mix and match all diameters of your 4 foot fluorescent lamps in our 4ft LED Light Bulb Recycling Box!

What are LEDs?

What Are LED Lights? LED (light-emitting diode) lights use small electronic chips to produce light instead of gas or filaments. They last much longer and use far less energy than fluorescent tubes. While LEDs don't contain mercury or PCBs, they do contain small amounts of recyclable materials like copper, aluminum, and glass that should be kept out of landfills. Recycling LEDs helps recover these resources and reduces environmental waste.
How to Identify LED Tubes LED tubes can look almost identical to fluorescent tubes, but there are easy ways to tell them apart. Check the label printed on the tube — LED tubes will say "LED" on them. You can also look at the ends: LED tubes often have solid, sealed end caps instead of the two metal pins found on fluorescent tubes. If you can see inside the fixture, an LED tube won't have a ballast connected to it, or the ballast will be bypassed.
