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 types of smoke detectors can you recycle and why do they need to be?

Most household smoke detectors are ionization-type detectors, meaning they contain a tiny amount of a radioactive material called americium-241. While the amount is very small and safe during normal use, smoke detectors should never be thrown in the regular trash because the radioactive material can accumulate in landfills and pose environmental risks over time. Recycling ensures the americium-241 is safely handled and that recoverable materials like plastic and metal are kept out of the waste stream. If your smoke detector has reached the end of its lifespan — typically 10 years — or has stopped working, it should be sent to a qualified recycler rather than tossed in the garbage.
