fluorescent tubes

I think I've seen the answer, but I can't find it.



How do you dispose from the old fluorescent tubes?

Garbage.  Just put them out visible with your trash.

Garbage.  Just put them out visible with your trash.

Yes. So that the kids wandering about at night can pull them out and smash them all over the street/end of your driveway.

garbage works just fine.

Not to question you; but in our area regular incandescent bulbs can go in the garbage; but Flourescent bulbs are classified as household hazerdous waste and can only be disposed of at facilities that handle those items.  

I would check with your garbage/recycling schedule

I've always put them out with the regular trash. But I put them out in the morning to avoid what Mettle described.

City of Ottawa regulations may be different from other municipalities.

Out here, we have a hazardous waste dump which was temporarily closed for unsafe hazardous waste.
So generally hazardous waste is disposed of on the shoulder of the road or at the end of my laneway along with a tim hortons.

I put my garbage out in the morning.  We have a very garbage hungry skunk and raccoon in our area.

Here crows are more of an issue.
