You know you can recycle your low energy light bulbs, Devon County Council told the PRSD yesterday. Sure, we thought, but they last 20 years, so why are you telling us now?
Too true, they say, in their press release, ‘according to the Energy Saving Trust, one energy saving lightbulb could save you up to £7 and 26 kilograms of CO2 a year, and because it will last up to 10 times longer than a standard bulb, it could save you around £60 before it needs replacing’.
But if you need to get rid of them, low energy lightbulbs can be disposed of safely at any of the county’s recycling centres.
‘We would ask that householders do not make special trips to recycle just one or two bulbs, but simply take them along to the recycling centres with their next planned visit,’ Devon County Council’s executive member for environment councillor Margaret Rogers, told the PRSD.
There, we have shod light on it.
