Light bulbs

Older style 'incandescent' light bulbs aren't recyclable and should be thrown away in your rubbish bin.

Energy saving lightbulbs are accepted at north London's reuse and recycling centres (RRCs) for recycling, or find other recycling points (opens in a new window). This includes light bulbs labelled "LED" (meaning "light emitting diode") and halogen light bulbs.

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