Light bulbs
Incandescent light bulbs and halogen bulbs are sorted into mixed waste. All other types of lamps are taken to a separate collection point.
How to sort light bulbs:
- Used halogen bulbs and incandescent light bulbs are sorted as mixed waste (combustible waste).
- LED-bulbs, string lights, candelabra and other kinds of lights powered by electricity 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 can 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
