Recycle your CFL bulbs responsibly
Overview
CFL bulbs contain small amounts of mercury, an essential ingredient for CFL bulbs to produce light. While the amount of mercury inside a CFL’s glass tubing is only about 5 milligrams—roughly the amount that would cover the tip of a ballpoint pen—it is still essential to handle and recycle CFLs responsibly.
