DID YOU KNOW?
Fluorescent Bulbs and Batteries are Hazardous Waste...
Fluorescent and Compact Fluorescent "CFL" bulbs and batteries should never be
placed in the trash - they will end up in a landfill and potentially leak dangerous
mercury and other hazardous substances into the soil. Always dispose of your fluorescent
and CFL bulbs and batteries properly, better yet, recycle them at one of the City of Houston's
facilities. Ikea and Home Depot also accept fluorescent and CFL bulbs for recycling at their
various locations.
The City of Houston provides the Household Hazardous Waste facility (5614 Neches St.) and the
Westpark Recycling facility (5900 Westpark) for disposal and/or recycling of such items as
fluorescent and CFC bulbs, paint, household batteries, car batteries, lawn and garden chemicals,
and other potentially hazardous items.
For more info Visit Household Hazardous Waste or Westpark Recycle.
