In 2010, new standards were introduced for low-energy bulbs in Australia. This means that the number of low-energy bulbs has greatly increased and these bulbs contain small levels of mercury. The mercury-containing bulbs include fluorescent tube lamps and the compact low-energy bulbs mostly used in homes.
The amount of mercury in a single bulb or lamp is very small and unlikely to harm people. Commercial and public lighting uses many more lamps and FluoroCycle is a voluntary national scheme to recycle mercury-containing lamps for industrial and public lighting.
For information on lamps used at home, you can contact your local council to find out how best to dispose of light bulbs and lamps.
Broken tubes, bulbs or lamps can be cleaned up as follows:
* Air (ventilate) the room.
* Wear gloves and scoop up all the glass fragments and powder.
* Put all the broken globe or tube into a rigid, sealed container.
* Use sticky tape to pick up any remaining small glass fragments and powder.
* Wipe the area clean with damp paper towels or disposable wet wipes and place them in a glass jar or plastic bag.
* Continue to air the room for 12 to 24 hours.
* Dispose of the mercury and any contaminated items in the rubbish, not in the recycling bin.
