- A maximum of 10 bulbs per resident can be dropped off at a time
- If recycling multiple bulbs, please place them in a box or plastic tote. Bulbs placed in bags can break and threaten our staff's safety as they remove the materials.

Lightbulb Recycling
Fluorescent light bulbs contain the nerve toxin mercury, a liquid metal that can be harmful to human health if inhaled or ingested. Connolly's Do it Best Hardware & Rental is a drop off location for the ACDEM lightbulb recycling program, free of charge for Allen County residents.
