How to Dispose of Fluorescent Bulbs / CFLs in Tyler, TX
Tyler does not operate a full household hazardous waste facility. The Downtown Recycle Center, 418 North Bois D'Arc Avenue, takes specific streams such as electronics, appliances, batteries and used oil, but latex paint has to be dried out with cat litter or a hardener and thrown away with the lid off. Confirm on cityoftyler.org whether fluorescent bulbs is on the accepted list before hauling — never pour chemicals down a drain.
