Iowa Lakes is a certified CFL recycling center for member-owners of the Cooperative. Because there is a very small amount of mercury in each CFL bulb, member-owners can voluntarily bring their used CFL bulbs to Iowa Lakes' office in Estherville and we will ship these bulbs to a fluorescent environmental disposal service center that will recycle and dispose of these used CFL bulbs properly.
At this time, Iowa law does not have CFL recycling requirements. Even though the state of Iowa does not require that CFL bulbs be recycled, Iowa Lakes would like to encourage everyone to drop off your used CFL bulbs to be recycled and let us help you do the right thing environmentally.
Help us to help you!
