Recycle

​Recycle fluorescent tubes, CFLs, and other bulbs containing mercury at a LightRecycle WA Site . Adjust the search radius to show more locations.

Does your bulb contain mercury? 

Look for the letters "Hg" (the symbol for mercury) on the base of the lamp or packaging. Keep bulbs and tubes dry when storing.

Kitsap County-owned collection sites

Rethink

Keep fluorescent bulbs or tubes out of the trash and recycling bin. These contain mercury, a potent neurotoxin, and must always be taken to a drop-off collection site.
