Description

Please send us traditional, incandescent, and halogen light bulbs. Note: A simple test to ensure your light bulb qualifies for this Box is to shake it. If you hear the rattling of metal filament inside, the bulb is acceptable.

How It Works What happens to my waste?

Shipments of waste are sent to one of our local TerraCycle Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs). When a shipment from a collector arrives at one of our MRFs, we scan it to record the shipment information, date, weight, and what material it contained. 

We then sort materials based on material characteristics and composition, using a wide variety of sorting technologies. Once sorted by category, the different material types are cleaned and then sent to third-party partners to process the materials into usable forms. 

After we recycle the waste into raw material, it’s sold to manufacturing companies who produce the end product and complete the recycling journey. Learn more about TerraCycle’s recycling process.
