How to Dispose Fluorescent Tubes Safely?
In an age of increasing awareness of the things we throw away you may be wondering how to dispose of fluorescent tubes safely. This is a very good question and as with so many other hazardous materials we use in our daily life it is no longer okay to just throw these bulbs in the trash. Your municipality should have a policy for the disposal of these and instructions for you to follow. Some retailers of these items are developing take-back programs so that may be another option. If, where you live, there is no safer option, wrap the bulbs in a plastic bag and dispose of it this way, but only as long as there is no risk of incineration. These waste products should never be incinerated.
