Recycle CFLs from the Comfort of Your Home

Residential customers can easily recycle CFLs from home by using RECYCLEPAK containers from Veolia Environmental Services. The RECYCLEPAK program allows customers to order a CFL recycling kit online, including the recycling container, a protective polyliner, instructions, and prepaid return shipping to Veolia. Once the container is filled with old CFLs, the customer can now mail the package back to Veolia via a USPS office or any USPS letter carrier. Learn more here.

A standard CFL RECYCLEPAK holds 12 small and 6-8 medium sized CFLs and costs $15-$20. However, Veolia also offers a variety of container options including a "community pail" which can hold up to 50lbs of CFL bulbs and costs $80.

For more information or to order a RECYCLEPAK, visit Sylvania* or Veolia ES.
