Spent bulbs Where to recycle them in Calgary.
 

I have been trying to find a place that recycles spent fluorescent and Metal Halide bulbs in Calgary. I don't what to just throw them in the land fill because of the mercury in them. I found Rona only takes energy savers. Does anyone know where to take them?

i'm looking for used MH 400W mogul if you have those.

I only have two used MH 250w Hamilton Tech. Sorry!

If any one is interested in them. Free to whoever picks them up!

I used to take my used T5 bulbs to Home Depot for recycling.

The recycling depot in Cochrane is where we recycle ours. Rhonda does a run with all my bulbs about every 2 months. You can bring them in to RC.

Ikea has a recycle center for light bulbs, (tubes included) and batteries.
It's located between the returns area and the tills.

umm your not supposed to recycle them.

You're supposed call your buddies, a bottle of Tequila and some hockey helmets. Drink all the tequila, weapon up with a T5 and reenact parts of Stars Wars - SHOTGUN DARTH MAUL!!!!!!
:twised:

Please dont ever ever ever do that, the "powder" on the inside of a T5 bulb is highly toxic and can make you very sick, if you break one you should use a dust mask to clean up the glass and try and get ventilation into the area asap.

Sure they make a loud poping sound and look cool when they break but they are not very safe at all.
