| The Light Center is a residential CFL Bulb recycling drop-off location in conjunction with the Fort Collins Utilities and Platte River Power Authority. Follow these easy steps to recycle your CFL bulbs:
Enclose unbroken CFL bulb in a sealed plastic bag to reduce the risk of bulb breakage.
If a CFL bulb breaks, your greatest risk is being cut from the glass rather than exposure to the mercury. To minimize risk even further, follow this procedure:
1. open windows to ventilate;
2. sweep up all fragments—don't vacuum;
3. wipe the area with a damp paper towel;
4. put fragments and towel in a plastic bag and seal; and
Drop off at The Light Center or another participating Fort Collins CFL Recycling Program Retailer.

Save $1.25 to $2.50 on CFL bulbs instantly when purchased at The Light Center.
