It is very important that materials containing high doses of mercury, such as light bulbs and fluorescents, are recycled after they have completed their life. Because the amount of mercury in a fluorescent varies according to the manufacturer and the year of manufacture, but is between 3.5-15 milligrams. Although the amount of mercury used in light bulbs has decreased in the last two decades, unfortunately, completely mercury-free bulbs have not yet been produced by the manufacturers. Waste fluorescents, on the other hand, are often broken when they are thrown into the landfill, trash can, or buried in the ground. On the other hand, recycling these fluorescents also enables glass, metals and other materials to be reused after recycling.
