CFL
Cleanup
guidelines:
www.epa.gov/cfl.
Before Cleanup:
-
Have
people
and
pets
leave
the
room.
-
Air
out
the
room
for
5-10
minutes
by
opening
a
window
or
door
to
the
outdoor
environment.
-
Shut
off
the
central
forced
air
heating
or
air-conditioning
system.
-
Collect
materials
needed
to
clean
up
broken
bulb:
stiff
paper
or
cardboard;
sticky
tape;
damp paper
towels
or
disposable
wet
wipes
(for
hard
surfaces);
and
a
glass
jar
with
a
metal
lid
or
a sealable
plastic
bag.
During Cleanup:
-
DO
NOT
VACUUM.
Vacuuming
is
not
recommended
unless
broken
glass
remains
after
all
other
cleanup
steps
have
been
taken.
Vacuuming
could
spread
mercury-containing
powder
or
mercury
vapor.
-
Be
thorough
in
collecting
broken
glass
and
visible
powder.
Scoop
up
glass
fragments
and
powder
using
stiff
paper
or
cardboard.
Use
sticky
tape,
such
as
duct
tape,
to
pick
up
any
remaining
small
glass
fragments
and
powder.
Place
the
used
tape
in
the
glass
jar
or
plastic
bag.
See
the
detailed
cleanup
instructions
for
more
information,
and
for
differences
in
cleaning
up
hard
surfaces
versus
carpeting
or
rugs.
-
Place
cleanup
materials
in
a
sealable
container.
After Cleanup:
-
Promptly
place
all
bulb
debris
and
cleanup
materials,
including
vacuum
cleaner
bags,
outdoors
in a
trash
container
or
protected
area
until
materials
can
be
disposed
of.
Avoid
leaving
any
bulb
fragments
or
cleanup
materials
indoors.
-
Next,
check
with
your
local
government
about
disposal
requirements
in
your
area,
because
some
localities
require
fluorescent
bulbs
(broken
or
unbroken)
be
taken
to
a
local
recycling
center.
If there
is
no
such
requirement
in
your
area,
you
can
dispose
of
the
materials
with
your
household trash.
-
If
practical,
continue
to
air
out
the
room
where
the
bulb
was
broken
and
leave
the
heating/air
conditioning
system
shut
off
for
several
hours.
If
you
are
concerned
about
your
health
after
cleaning
up
the
broken
CFL,
you
may
contact
your
local
poison control
center
by
calling
1-800-222-1222.
