The following retailers and recycling firms within Madison that will accept old fluorescent lamps, bulbs, and tubes and compact fluorescent bulb for recycling.

These firms may charge a fee, so we recommend you call before taking material to them for recycling.

Also, keep in mind that some chain stores have locations within Dane County but just outside of Madison that are not listed below. For example, stores like the Menards locations in Sun Prairie & Monona or the Ace Hardware stores in Cottage Grove and Middleton. They, too, will accept fluorescent bulbs for recycling.

The rule of thumb is that if they are in Dane County and sell fluorescent tubes or bulbs, they have to take them back for recycling.

If you learn of other vendors that accept fluorescent bulbs for recycling, let us know.
