Compact Fluorescent Lightbulb (CFL) Recycling Program The Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County (SWANCC) is sponsoring a recycling program for residentially-generated spent Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs (CFLs) from SWANCC member community residents’ households. No commercial or institutional waste will be accepted and IDs will be checked. Each CFL contains a small amount of mercury sealed within the glass tubing – an average of 5 milligrams (roughly equivalent to the tip of a ball-point pen). Because mercury poses potential health risks, the CFLs should not be disposed of in the garbage if there is a recycling option. Recycle your CFLs at one of SWANCC's drop off sites: Arlington Heights, Barrington, Buffalo Grove, Elk Grove Village, Evanston, Glencoe, Glenview, Hoffman Estates, Inverness, Kenilworth, Lincolnwood, Morton Grove, Mount Prospect, Niles, Palatine, Park Ridge, PROSPECT HEIGHTS, Rolling Meadows, Skokie, South Barrington, Wheeling, Wilmette and Winnetka. Prospect Heights City Hall, 8 N Elmhurst Road - Monday - Friday 8:30 am - 4:30 pm
