Electronics & Fluorescent Light Bulb Recycling
What should I do with my old electronics?
Residents can recycle their old electronic
equipment, such as computers, televisions, stereo
equipment, etc., at any of the City's
Household
Hazardous Waste collection events.
Computers in working condition may also be
donated to
AzSTRUT.
Do I need to worry about the upcoming change
to digital television?
Learn about the
digital tv transition coming February 17, 2009
and how it will impact your current household
television sets.
What about fluorescent light bulbs?
Fluorescent and compact fluorescent light bulbs
do offer a number of environmental benefits but also
contain significant amounts of mercury and therefore
should be recycled in an environmentally friendly
manner. Please follow these guidelines to properly
dispose of these bulbs:
- DO NOT dispose of them in your regular
trash.
- Place bulbs in a cardboard box or other
container that will help ensure they do not get
broken.
- Bring the bulbs to a
Household Hazardous Waste collection event.
For more information, call the
Mesa Recycling Hotline at (480) 644-2222.
