The USEPA provides another useful resource: a set of links to thousands of free locations all over the country where used light bulbs can be turned in for recycling. Find the drop-off location nearest you. There is no need for any mercury in humans or the environment. The ALMR represents the majority of commercial processors of mercury-bearing wastes in the U.S. and around the globe.
Member companies perform the majority of all the lamp recycling done each year through a comprehensive service network to assist with collection, processing, recycling, and recovery of spent mercury lamps, ballasts, batteries, electronic products, and other wastes with hazardous levels of mercury. Lamp recycling also facilitates the recovery of Rare Earth Elements (REE) considered critical for many industrial and national strategic uses.
