Toxicological information
A Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) conducted on traditional fluorescent lamp designs
for mercury would most likely cause the lamps to be classified as a hazardous waste due to the mercury
content. While small numbers of these lamps placed in ordinary trash may not appreciably affect the
nature or method of disposal of the trash, under most circumstances disposal of large quantities may be
regulated. You should review your waste Handling practices to assure that you dispose of waste lamps
properly and contact your state environmental department for any regulations that may apply. To check
state regulations or to locate a recycler, go to www.lamprecycle.org

Section13. Disposal considerations
Normal precautions should be taken for the collection of glass particles in the event a lamp is broken.
Waste Disposal Method: All compact fluorescent lamps contain some amount of mercury. When a compact
fluorescent lamp is to be disposed, it is subject to the current EPA Toxicity Characteristic Leaching
Procedure (TCLP) disposal criteria. This test is used to determine if an item can be managed of as
hazardous or non-hazardous waste.
All disposal options should be evaluated with respect to federal, state, and local requirements. Before
disposing of waste lamps, check with federal, state, and/or local officials for current guidelines and
regulations
