A Spotlight on Recycling Fluorescent Light Bulbs

Your compact fluorescent light bulb may beam more than just light.

Each compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) contains up to five milligrams of mercury, a potent neurotoxin that’s a worst offender in the list of environmental contaminants. According to a recent study in the Journal of the Air and Waste Management Association, not recycling CFL’s is one reason that U.S. landfills release more than four tons of mercury annually into the atmosphere and storm water runoff.

So how does e-Cycle (your premiere junk removal service) help your home or office keep expired light bulbs from contaminating the environment? We provide boxes to store them in and pick them up at your doorstep. We basically do everything except unscrew them from the ceiling. (Ok, we’d probably do that too if you really needed us to).

Tubular fluorescent bulbs that are used by most schools, hospitals and office buildings are long, and, well awkward. Give us a call so we can meet your fluorescent light bulb recycling needs, and we'll take them off your hands within 48 hours. We’ve been doing it for companies and homes just like yours for years.
