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.
