Fluorescent Bulbs & CFL's

Non-working incandescent (40, 60, 75, 100 watt) and LED bulbs can be thrown away but fluorescent bulbs must be recycled due to containing mercury.  Compact Fluorescent Bulbs (CFL’s) can be taken to Rusk County Recycling Dept. free of charge.  Tubular fluorescents can be taken either to Rusk County Recycling (small quantities only), Ace Hardware or to the annual Cleansweep program.
