projector bulbs

What do you do with your dead bulbs?

 

we currently have a large box filled with them, we are reluctant to dispose of them into normal landfill because of the enviromental issues

 

cheers

Our local tip has a box for such stuff.

When I purchased lamps in the past they have generally sent return envelopes for Free Postage of the dead lamps. I think these were from Lamp House. If you speak to them, they may take the lamps of your hands - but they may try and flog you the lamps also!

You must not landfill them, they contain mercury and need disposing of properly. I keep mine in a box until the summer, and the company that collects our old machines (under the WEEE directive) takes them.

The company that takes our flourescent tubes will also take our projector lamps.

I think we've just been binning ours... I did point out the "This product contains mercury" text on the box when replacing one today... don't think anyone else really thought about it.
