Light Bulbs (Halogen and Incandescent)

Light Bulbs (Halogen and Incandescent)

Halogen and incandescent bulbs are traditional light sources that produce light using a heated filament. They are commonly used in homes but are being phased out in favour of energy-efficient options. 

 

Disposal Options

  • Light Bulbs – Wrap and place in General Waste Bin
  • Cardboard Packaging - Recycling Bin 

 

Why

These types of bulbs cannot be recycled through kerbside systems due to their composition. 

 

Did You Know

Approximately 90–95% of the energy consumed is released as heat rather than light, making them functionally similar to small heaters.
