Where can I safely dispose of fluorescent bulbs, including the new energy-efficient compact fluorescent bulbs?
In the past year, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services has partnered with Ace and TrueValue hardware stores on a take-back program for fluorescent bulb recycling. New Hampshire residents may bring up to six linear, compact, or circular bulbs to participating Ace and TrueValue stores to be recycled for free. The closest participating store is Belletetes TrueValue in Nashua. Click here for details. Fluorescent bulbs may also be brought to our household hazardous waste collections, but we encourage you to keep our costs (and yours!) down by participating in the free State program.
