Hi There,

I've heard that Flourescents and Energy efficient globes (CFLs) can't be recycled through the normal recycling bins

I have a pile of old globes and tubes – where can I take them for recycling?

Thanks in Advance

You can recycle fluorescent lights at the Mugga Lane Resource Management Centre in Canberra.

There is more information about this in the climateXchange Canberra Green Directory here.

The Canberra Green Directory also has extensive information about where you can recycle other things too.

Or else you can go directly to the ACT Government Territory and Municipal Services (TAMS) website here for their summary of recycling options.

Mugga Lane is a great place to recycle all kinds of things, But for the  people who live on the north side of Canberra, There is a great Recycling and second hand depot, at the 'tip' on Flemington Road in Mitchell. 

Simply go there, and sort your recycling into the labelled containers. 

There is also a great 2nd hand store, full of all kinds of things from furniture, electronics, kitchenware, hardware and tools, toys, garden materials, leftover building materials such as tiles and bricks, and so many other great things, all that have been donated, and all at really really cheap prices.
