Light globes and tubes

Fluorescent light globes and tubes (CFLs)

Fluorescent light globes and tubes cannot be placed in residential bins as they are a hazardous material. 

They contain mercury and other materials that can cause environmental harm.

Some of the material in globes and tubes can be recycled. IKEA offers a free recycling service.
