Just like paint, batteries, thermostats and household chemicals, it is important to dispose of CFLs properly. Alberta Environment recognizes that fluorescent bulbs are an environmental and waste management issue and encourages all Albertans to divert fluorescent bulbs from landfills to other end-of-life management options such as recycling.
Within our community, CFL light bulbs are accepted at local improvement stores such as Home Depot, Totem and Rona as well as at Walmart and London Drugs retail locations as part of their recycling programs.
