All lightbulbs, incandescent or fluorescent, can be dropped off at Resource Recovery at no charge.
Go to the north side and enter the plant through the door marked "Lane 1". Stop at the white booth on our tipping floor, and a floor attendant will be with you shortly to accept your light bulbs.
Fluorescent bulbs, whether long and slim or short and curly or round and tubular, need to be disposed of properly because of the mercury vapor in them. We don't want you to put them in your regular garbage, because they will break and release that mercury vapor.
If you are a business, you can call either business below for disposal options:
A-Tec Recycling 800-551-4912 or 515-244-7357
Metro Hazardous Waste Dropoff 888-603-2739
