How do I dispose of used CFL light bulbs?

CFLs contain a small amount of mercury, so don’t throw them in the household trash. The safest, simplest option is to recycle them.

Where to take them:

  • Home Depot and Ace Hardware stores typically accept CFLs for free recycling (availability varies—call your local store to confirm).
  • Your county’s household hazardous-waste site or collection events also accept CFLs.

    Before you go:
  • Place bulbs in their original packaging or wrap in soft material to prevent breakage.
  • Do not tape the glass; just handle carefully and keep them upright.
  • Most drop-offs don’t accept broken bulbs—if one breaks, follow local guidance for cleanup and disposal.

    Why it matters: Even though CFLs contain mercury, they use much less electricity than old incandescents. Over their lifetime, that reduced energy demand can mean less overall environmental impact. As you upgrade, consider LEDs—they’re mercury-free, highly efficient, and last longer.
