Old fashioned incandescent filament and Halogen light bulbs cannot be recycled, even if they are part of a lamp etc.
Note: Light bulbs should be wrapped in newspaper and placed in your household waste.
Tip: Using energy saving bulbs saves money on your energy bill. You also save by not replacing bulbs as frequently.
Low energy light bulbs can be recycled at Sainsbury's, Wade Street, Halifax and the Brighouse store. They can also be taken to any of Calderdale's Household Waste Recycling Centres and put in the fluorescent tube container.
Note: Low energy and fluorescent lights contain mercury, which is hazardous if they break.
LED lights, like those in bike headlamps, small electrical goods and children’s toys, can go in the recycling. Note: This is if they are sealed in the item.
