How should I dispose of light bulbs?

Compact fluorescent (spiral) bulbs should not be disposed of in your trash and are not accepted by the City of West Allis. Contact Elliott Ace, Menards or Home Depot or take to a Household Hazardous Collection site. View MMSD website for locations here. Fluorescent (tube) bulbs may be placed in your trash (wrap in newspaper), for residential pickup only, no business/commercial pickups.
