Light Bulbs

Light bulbs come in many forms and are referred to in the industry as “lamps.” As it turns out, the number of lamps recycled annually has risen from 70 million in 1997 to 156 million in 2003. Many companies offer the benefit of allowing you to mail-back your old, burnt-out lamps free of charge. Some light bulbs, like CFLs, contain dangerous materials like mercury. This makes their proper disposal even more important.
