County Makes Push to Properly Recycle Lightbulbs With Mercury Ahead of Daylight Saving Time, the Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is seeking to start a new tradition with their initiative to educate residents on how to properly recycle Compact Fluorescent Lightbulbs (CFLs).  The initiative is called “Recycle Right CFLs Contain Mercury” and its primary focus is to inform residents on how to properly dispose of light bulbs that contain mercury.  “We have made great progress in getting residents and businesses to use CFLs over incandescent light bulbs,” said DEP Director Adam Ortiz. “Ironically, because these bulbs are so energy efficient, they are replaced less often. Many people do not know or have forgotten how to dispose of CFL bulbs. With the Recycle CFLs initiative, we hope to educate the public that CFLs should be handled carefully and disposed of properly at all times.”
