Energy Efficient Light Bulbs

Local councils should provide facilities for recycling energy efficient bulbs, as they are recyclable. Alternatively your supplier / lighing shop may take them back for recycling. These bulbs contain small amounts of mercury, as they are a type of fluorescent bulb (sometimes known as CFL - Compact Fluorescent Light).
