Light bulbs

Incandescent light bulbs and halogen bulbs belong in mixed waste. All other types of lamps are taken to a waste reception station or other collection point.

How to sort light bulbs:

Used halogen bulbs and incandeestent light bulbs are sorted as mixed wasta (combustible waste).

LED-bulbs, string lights, candelabra and other kinds of lights powered by eletricity or batteries are sorted as electrical and electronic waste.

Energy-saving bulbs and fluorescent lamps are sorted as hazardous waste, because they contain mercury.

All types of light bulbs can be brought to Stormossen’s waste reception stations. Energy-saving bulbs and fluorescent lamps less than 25 cm long be taken to a store without an obligation to purchase a new product. These stores are:

  • a retail store of at least 1000 m²
  • a special store for electronics of at least 200 m²
