Compact Fluorescent Lighting (CFL) tubes and globes should never be placed in your kerbside bins.
CFL’s should be taken to your nearest Household Hazardous Waste drop-off point.
Unlike incandescent bulbs, CFL lighting contains a small amount of mercury. Each bulb contains about four milligrams of the toxic metal. Although that is only a fraction of the amount of mercury in those old school thermometers, broken CFL bulbs can be damaging to the environment if they enter landfills or the water supply.
Please ensure you dispose of your CFL’s correctly to protect the environment.
