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.
