Excited about getting energy-efficient lighting into your sockets, but not sure what to do with those CFL bulbs once they're spent?
Well, safe disposal of used bulbs just got a whole lot easier. If there's a Home Depot store in your city or town, you can simply drop your used bulbs off at the store for safe recycling, free of charge.
Project Porchlight is working with local governments, community organizations and commercial partners to develop recycling and disposal options for used CFL bulbs. Contact your municipality for options where you live - if none exists, demand one! Your elected government officials need to know that you are concerned about safe disposal of CFL lightbulbs.
The following is a partial list of recycling and disposal depots. If you know of an option that should be listed here, please contact us with the details so that we can add it.
