Compact fluorescent lamps reduce energy consumption and prevent greenhouse gas emissions. Since these lamps contain a small amount of mercury that is necessary to produce fluorescent light, the lamps should be recycled at the county’s household hazardous waste disposal site at the Landfill.

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