These should be wrapped appropriately to prevent injury from broken glass to anyone carrying the waste and placed in the general waste stream.<br /><br />Energy saving light bulbs and fluorescent light tubes contain small amounts of mercury.<br />As mercury is a hazardous substance these types of lightbulbs should be disposed of sensibly and in accordance with the Hazardous Waste Regulations.<br /><br /></p> </div> <div class="row equal-height-columns"> <div class="heading"> <h2 class="title fake-h3 not-sr-only">What is included?</h2> </div> <div class="col lg-6 wysiwyg"> <div class="media-item full secondary reverse equal-height"> <div class="media"> <img src="https://pxl-imperialacuk.terminalfour.net/fit-in/687x378/prod01/channel_3/media/migration/administration-and-support-services/recycle-yes--tojpeg_1433746961249_x4-14.jpg" srcset=" https://pxl-imperialacuk.terminalfour.net/fit-in/343x189/prod01/channel_3/media/migration/administration-and-support-services/recycle-yes--tojpeg_1433746961249_x4-14.jpg 344w, https://pxl-imperialacuk.terminalfour.net/fit-in/687x378/prod01/channel_3/media/migration/administration-and-support-services/recycle-yes--tojpeg_1433746961249_x4-14.jpg 687w, https://pxl-imperialacuk.terminalfour.net/fit-in/1374x756/filters:upscale()/prod01/channel_3/media/migration/administration-and-support-services/recycle-yes--tojpeg_1433746961249_x4-14.jpg 1374w, https://pxl-imperialacuk.terminalfour.net/fit-in/2748x1512/filters:upscale()/prod01/channel_3/media/migration/administration-and-support-services/recycle-yes--tojpeg_1433746961249_x4-14.jpg 2748w" sizes="(min-width: 1520px) 687px, (min-width: 1025px) calc((100vw -

Therefore, all burned out sodium vapor lamps need to be disposed of professionally.</li> </ul> <h2>How green is this waste stream?</h2> <ul> <li>The lamp container is re-used.</li> <li>Nearly all material is recycled.</li> <li>Recycling prevents hazardous materials from damaging the environment.</li> </ul> <h2>What else can I do?</h2> <ul> <li>Energy efficient light bulbs save money and help the environment by using less electricity.</li> <li>Energy efficient light bulbs reduce the quantity of waste, because they don't need to be replaced as often as ordinary bulbs.</li> </ul>
