Recyclebulb.com brings together a network of retailers, utilities, businesses and manufacturers that accept CFLs from consumers in order to properly recycle them. The site promotes the participating entities and instructs consumers on how to recycle their CFLs through take-back programs sponsored by this network.
“Our recyclebulb.com program is an extension of our award-winning recyclepak® program,” John McShane, general manager at Veolia ES Technical Solutions, L.L.C. says. “We are attempting to bring together the fragmented network of return programs and facilities to create a consistent, cost-effective and national program for recycling CFLs.”
Veolia initiated this program in response to growing concerns over improper disposal of energy-efficient CFLs, as well as the lack of a suitable network of take-back locations and retail promotions surrounding the sale of CFLs.
“We’ve spent a considerable amount of time designing a program that works financially for participating businesses,” McShane says. “We also wanted it to be easily marketable and will support these businesses with point of purchase materials. He adds, “Our ultimate goal is to make recycling CFLs simple and convenient for consumers.”
