• Leon County Electronics Recycling Center, 7550 Apalachee Parkway which is also the Hazardous Waste Center and right before you actually get to the land fill.

• Marpan Recycling on 6020 Woodville Highway takes construction and demolition debris, scrap metals, furniture, appliances, yard and landscape trimmings, and cardboard.

You may also recycle your CFL’s at the Green Living Center, 1020 North Monroe Street, Tallahassee.

If a compact fluorescent lamp should accidentally break in your home, follow these cleanup guidelines:
