Light Bulb Recycling in Lewisburg, TN
Light bulb recycling for Lewisburg, Marshall County and Middle Tennessee, with weekday drop-off on Old Columbia Road, commercial pickup for businesses, and prepaid mail-in kits.
Recycle Technologies recycles light bulbs for households and businesses at our Lewisburg Recycling Center, 1580 Old Columbia Road. We take fluorescent tubes, CFLs, HID, LED, halogen and incandescent bulbs, plus circular, U-shaped and broken fluorescent lamps. Drop off on weekdays, order a mail-in kit if a trip doesn't fit your schedule, or set up commercial pickup if your business replaces bulbs on a regular basis. Lamps are broken down so the glass, metal, and mercury-bearing phosphor each go their own way instead of to a landfill.

How Light Bulb Recycling Works
Choose your route
Drop-off for a handful of bulbs, a mail-in kit if driving doesn't work, or commercial pickup for a business with steady volume.
Protect the bulbs
Use original boxes or a sturdy container so nothing breaks in transit.
Bring them in or hand them off
Unload at Old Columbia Road, have boxes ready for pickup, or ship your kit.
Separation
Each lamp is broken down so glass, metal end caps, and phosphor powder are split apart.
Mercury recovery
Mercury material is sent to our Greenwood, IN retort facility, keeping it out of landfills.
