At Ewaste, we offer one solution but more does need to be done by the government and bulb manufacturers to ensure that consumers are well informed of how to safely dispose of their bulbs. Should you require more information, please don't hesitate to call the office on 1300 392 783. Thank you. Hi Em,

How much would that be? Or do I need to keep them at my house, like a packrat, until I have a decent number to dispose? I am trying to reduce clutter in my house, not increase it. I agree with switching over to them but it's annoying how little information is available on the safe disposal of them at the end of their life. Especially as the government is phasing out the sale of the old incandescent ones.

The mercury from coal burning goes into the oceans, into the flesh of long-lived sea creatures and into the bodies of seafood-eating humans.
