Packing Bulbs for Drop-Off or Pickup

Bulb shipments fall under federal Department of Transportation rules, so pack bulbs in a sturdy container, such as the boxes your replacement bulbs arrived in. For a scheduled business pickup, we can bring packing materials ahead of time.

Gather your bulbs
Keep tubes whole and set aside any broken lamps so you can mention them when you call.
- 2
Pack them safely
Box bulbs in sturdy containers to meet DOT shipping rules.
- 3
Pick a service
Drive to Park 800 Drive, book a commercial pickup, or mail a kit.
- 4

Mercury recovery on site
Mercury material is handled at our Greenwood retort, the glass goes on to industrial uses, and end caps go to aluminum salvage.

Site address: street, city and ZIP code
Lamp types: tubes, CFLs, HID or other bulbs

Local Recycling Information
Indiana handles fluorescent and other mercury-containing lamps from businesses under its universal waste rules, so they belong with an authorized recycler, not in a dumpster (IDEM).
Greenwood is in Johnson County, where the Johnson County Recycling District in Franklin runs recycling and household hazardous waste programs for county residents. Its Tox Box, however, doesn't accept light bulbs, and county programs don't take business waste. Our Greenwood center gives homeowners and businesses a direct place to bring bulbs on any weekday.
