How to Dispose or Recycle Floor Lamps, Hanging Lamps, Chandeliers, and Handheld Flashlights

1. Floor Lamps and Chandeliers

✅ Recycling & Disposal Options:

• Donate or Sell: If in working condition, consider donating to thrift stores, charities, or selling online.

• Electronics or Scrap Metal Recycling: Some parts, like metal frames and wiring, can be recycled at e-waste or scrap metal facilities.

• Hazardous Waste Facilities: If the fixture contains built-in lighting (e.g., fluorescent or LED components), check if your local hazardous waste facility accepts them.

  
  

  🚫 Do NOT place in curbside recycling: Most recycling programs do not accept large fixtures due to mixed materials.

2. Handheld Flashlights

✅ Recycling & Disposal Options:

• Battery Removal: Remove batteries and recycle them separately at battery drop-off locations.

• E-Waste Recycling: Some flashlights (especially rechargeable or LED ones) qualify as e-waste.

• Scrap Metal Recycling: Metal casings can sometimes be recycled as scrap metal.

  
  

  🚫 Do NOT place in curbside recycling: Plastic or mixed-material flashlights are not curbside-recyclable.
