Responsible Disposal of Mercury-Contained Lamps
At Sunshine Lighting, we are committed to protecting our environment and promoting responsible recycling practices. While we do not collect used mercury-contained or mercury-added lamps, we understand the importance of ensuring these materials are properly handled and recycled.

Why Proper Disposal Matters
Mercury-added lamps, such as certain types of fluorescent bulbs, contain small amounts of mercury. Proper disposal of these lamps prevents mercury from entering our environment, contributing to a safer ecosystem for all.

For comprehensive information on how and where to recycle mercury-containing light bulbs, please visit the EPA’s guide on bulb recycling. This resource provides detailed insights into the recycling process, regulatory requirements, and the environmental benefits of recycling these types of bulbs.
