Proof of service

What happens to your waste

  1. You fill and seal the container. Every kit comes with a container approved for shipping this kind of waste and a prepaid return label.
  2. FedEx Ground picks it up (or you drop it at any FedEx location), and you can follow it with FedEx tracking.
  3. It is recycled at a permitted facility. For lamps, that means the glass, metal end caps and phosphor powder are separated and the mercury is recovered for reuse.
  4. You get a certificate of recycling. Once your shipment is processed, you can download it online and keep it with your compliance records.

How it works

How BulbCycle's program works

BulbCycle's comprehensive recycling program makes it easy to responsibly dispose of hazardous lighting waste including fluorescent lamps, LED bulbs, CFLs, ballasts, batteries, electronics, and mercury devices. Our four-step process ensures safe, compliant, and environmentally responsible recycling of your waste materials.

Select your kit

Browse and select the appropriate recycling kit for your specific waste disposal needs. BulbCycle offers specialized containers for fluorescent lamps, LED bulbs, CFLs, ballasts, batteries, electronics, mercury devices, and more.

Receive and fill with waste

After purchasing your recycling kit, you'll receive your UN-rated container within 6-11 business days. Fill the container at your own pace with your hazardous waste materials. Each kit includes all shipping fees, recycling costs, and a certificate of recycling. You have a full year to return the filled container.

Schedule pickup via FedEx

Once your recycling container is full and properly sealed, schedule a free FedEx pickup using the prepaid return shipping label included with your kit. Alternatively, drop off your sealed container at any FedEx location. Your filled container will be transported securely to one of BulbCycle's EPA-permitted recycling facilities located throughout the United States for proper processing and material recovery.

Request Certificate of Recycling

After your hazardous waste has been received and processed at our EPA-permitted facility, you can request your official certificate of recycling by logging into the secure website provided with your recycling kit. This certificate documents the proper disposal and environmental compliance of your waste materials. Please allow three weeks for processing and certificate generation.

What is a TSCA-exempt PCB and non PCB magnetic and electronic lamp ballast?

What Is a Ballast? A ballast is a small device inside fluorescent light fixtures that regulates the electrical current flowing to the bulbs. Every fluorescent light has one — it's the rectangular box connected to the wiring inside the fixture housing.
PCB vs. Non-PCB Ballasts Ballasts manufactured before 1979 often contain PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), toxic chemicals banned by the EPA due to health and environmental hazards. To check yours, look at the ballast label: if it says "No PCBs," it's non-PCB. If there's no such marking, assume it contains PCBs and dispose of it as hazardous waste per EPA regulations. Some ballasts are labeled "TSCA-exempt PCB," meaning they contain very small, authorized trace amounts of PCBs (under 50 ppm) that fall below the EPA's regulatory threshold under the Toxic Substances Control Act — these can generally be disposed of as non-hazardous waste but should still be handled according to local guidelines.
