Recycling Fluorescent Lightbulbs

Residents can drop off used compact and regular fluorescent lightbulbs at any of the following participating municipal and volunteer fire departments:

  • Asheville #2 and #11
  • Beaverdam
  • Black Mountain
  • Enka-Candler (2 sites)
  • Fairview
  • Reems Creek
  • Reynolds
  • Riceville
  • Skyland
  • Swannanoa

If you have broken fluorescent lamps they are also accepted.

  • Please note:  if any of your bulbs are broken please sweep up the contents.DO NOT use a vacuum cleaner. It will spread vapors and contaminate the vacuum. Place the contents in a ziplock bag, wipe the area with a wet paper towel or cloth and bring it to the Fire Station.
  • Please make sure the broken bulb and towel are sealed in the plastic bag when brought into the Fire Station. Ventilate the room where the lamp was broken.
  • When the unit is broken the mercury is released. It is released as a vapor and there will be very little left in the powder.
  • 100% of these lamps are recycled.

If you have questions or need assistance please call 250-5460 or 250-5462 for information
