FLUORESCENT BULB RECYCLING PILOT PROGRAM
The Town of Three Hills is implementing a free FLUORESCENT BULB Recycling pilot program for Town of Three Hills Residents.
Fluorescent lights contain a small amount of mercury, which while safe during normal operation, poses an environmental risk if it ends up in the landfill. Once the mercury is safely removed, the glass and other parts of the lights are easy to recycle.
You can now take your whole (not damaged) fluorescent tubes, compact lights, HID Lamps and Incan/Hal/UV ballasts and mag ballast to the LANDFILL for recycling. The Landfill Attendant will assist you with disposing them in the assigned secure bins.
NOTE: BULBS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AT THE RECYCLING DEPOT!
Landfill location and hours of operation can be found at www.threehills.ca/landfill
