So flourescent bulbs go in the trash now?????
Hello Gayle, if you read the article you will see that fluorescent bulbs are under the Acceptable to Bring list. Thank you!

I have a old gas weed wacker. Can I bring it or do I put it in my trash bin or dispose of it another way?
Hi Alison, thanks for your question. I would contact the facility directly (800) 304-2226.
What about “AA”, “AAA” and “C” batteries. How are these disposed of? It lists electronic waste…does this include old extension cords? Thank you.
