NBR: Lightbulb disposal?

I know that you are supposed to recycle the CFL bulbs (looks like Home Depot does collection of those), what about regular light bulbs? Can you just throw them in the regular trash, or are you supposed to use special disposal/recycling for them?

Re: NBR: Lightbulb disposal?

  • I just realized how long it has been since I've had to replace/throw out a lightbulb since switching to CFLs over two years ago :)

    If you don't have the original packaging still - Place incandescent bulbs inside boxes and containers - soup cans work (if you don't recycle) well to prevent the scattering of glass during a bulb breakage. If you don't have anything at least wrap in newspaper to minimize the breakage.
