IKEA provides recycling containers for customers to discard their expired CFLs at no charge. IKEA's Free Take-Back Program allows customers to recycle compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) at all IKEA retail locations in the United States. See their press release for more information. Each store monitors the unit and once full, sends the expired CFLs to be recycled by Fluorescent Lamp Recyclers Inc. Customers can place expired CFLs in one of the plastic bags provided, seal the bag and deposit it into the display. In partnership with Phillips Lighting and Fluorescent Recyclers Inc., Home Depot provides drop-off containers for customers to discard their expired CFLs at no charge. On November 6, 2007, Home Depot began accepting compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) for recycling at all retail store locations in Canada. The bulbs are managed by an environmental management company which coordinates CFL packaging, transportation and recycling. Customers can give expired and unbroken CFL bulbs to a store clerk behind the returns desk. Home Depot's nationwide take-back program allows customers to recycle their expired CFLs at no charge. See their 2010 press release for more information.
The recycling bins can be found near the entrance of Lowe's stores across the U.S.
Their permanent recycling centers offer a free, convenient and easy way for customers to recycle rechargeable batteries, cell phones, CFLs and plastic shopping bags. Lowes accepts compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) for recycling in 1,700 US stores.
