Light bulbs

Broken light bulbs should be sealed in a plastic bag and placed in your red general waste bin

Light bulbs contain small amounts of mercury which can leak into the environment if broken in your bin. 

Intact light bulbs can be recycled for free through Household Chemical CleanOut event or at the Northern Sydney Community Recycling Centre

Fluorescent light bulbs may also be disposed of through a waste management facility, such as Veolia or Cleanaway.
