Fluorescent Light Bulb Disposal
« on: October 17, 2008, 05:58:53 PM »
Comments about the Battery Disposal Fluorescent Light Bulb Disposal:It would be interesting to do the same for energy efficient fluorescent light bulbs which contain mercury and other harmful substances.Whilst in many US states and European countries there is a high level of awareness of the need for specialist disposal of old fluorescent light bulbs and in many cases laws forbid disposal with household waste,the UK government seems to have chosen once again to ignore this serious environmental issue.I have found it difficult to find anywhere to safely dispose of fluorescent tubes.

If you're in Malaysia and serious about recycling and proper waste disposal of batteries & other harmful waste, you can proceed to http://www.kpkt.gov.my/kitarsemula/RecyclingCentre.asp to find out where the nearest Recycling Center & Bin Locator is. The search function there is most helpful and will help you locate the place where you can drop off your old batteries.

Pls be kind to the environment for our future generation's sake.
