CFL in natureNew! Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL) Recycling Option

Residents may now recycle CFLs at The Home Depot. Simply take unbroken, expired bulbs to the Return Desk, where they will be collected for recycling. The program is new, so all associates may not yet be aware of it, but signage and collection containers will soon be placed in all Home Depot stores. PLEASE NOTE: Lexington County does NOT accept CFLs for recycling curbside or at the Collection and Recycling Centers.

 

Why You Should Recycle!

By recycling, you impact Lexington County’s bottom line! For every ton of material recycled, Lexington County saves money on landfilling costs. The county is able to sell a majority of the recyclables and use the proceeds to offset the nine-million dollar solid waste budget.

Recycling conserves energy! Recycling one glass bottle saves enough electricity to light a 100-watt bulb for four hours.

It’s natural to recycle! Using recycled materials to make new products and packaging reduces the consumption of natural resources, such as water.

Pitch in – recycling prevents litter! When we properly dispose of waste, we have less litter, which is unsightly, harms wildlife and decreases property values.

Recycling conserves landfill space. The more we recycle, the less need we have for landfills, which are expensive to build and use land that could be used for other things. 

Need another 6.5 billion reasons? The SC Department of Commerce recently announced that recycling creates an estimated $6.5 billion total economic impact in our state’s economy.
