Light bulbs for recycling should NOT be placed in the orange recycling bag or mixed recycling bank.
You can take light bulbs for recycling to the Western Riverside Re-use and Recycling Centre, Smuggler’s Way, Wandsworth, SW18 1EG. Please look for the special container in which to deposit light bulbs.
