In addition to enacting mercury-related legislation, many states and local agencies have developed collection/exchange programs for mercury-containing devices, such as compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs), thermometers, blood pressure cuffs, and thermostats.

Some of these programs include free collection of mercury-containing devices. In many instances, the collection programs involve collaboration among state agencies, communities, and businesses.

The links below will take you out of the EPA.gov domain and to external links Exit EPA. For a more comprehensive listing of recycling opportunities for mercury-containing light bulbs, including CFLs, please view the Lamps Recycling Page.
