Letter to the Editor

Editor:

It remains unclear to me what we are supposed to do with light bulbs. There are many types: fluorescent, CFLs, incandescent, spotlights, LEDs and probably more.

I know CFLs need special toxic waste handling, so is there somewhere in LW we can take them? What about the others? Could someone please clarify?

When bulbs break, they are clearly a safety hazard. Knowing how to dispose of the different types safely would be very helpful. Pat Kruger Mutual 9 Editor’s note: Spent light bulbs can be dropped off for disposal at the Copy and Supply Center in Building 5 during business hours.
