IKEA To Recycle Your CFLs

IKEA is trying to be more green. Case in point, their hybrid only parking spots. And now, they’ll recycle your CFL bulbs.

Since our CFL bulbs contain a small amount of mercury, they should not be simply tossed out. And IKEA is offering a solution: a ‘Free Take Back’ program offering recycle bins in all IKEA stores.

Don’t live near an IKEA, then check out LampRecycle.org for a closer drop-off location.
