Energy saving light bulbs

Older style 'incandescent' bulbs aren't recyclable and should be thrown away in your rubbish bin. Energy efficient light bulbs are a type of fluorescent lamp and can be recycled at one of north London's reuse and recycling centres (RRCs), or find other recycling points (opens in a new window).

Do not put any sort of lightbulb in your mixed dry recycling bin as lightbulb glass cannot be recycled with the other glass collected that way.
