About - Take Back The Light - Recycling Council of Ontario

Take Back the Light is the first comprehensive fluorescent lamp recycling program in Ontario. Funded by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and led by the Recycling Council of Ontario, Take Back the Light’s goal is to work with both sellers and buyers of fluorescent lamps to recover and recycle the 30 million fluorescent lamps disposed of yearly, generated from the industrial, commercial and institutional sector.

Take Back the Light provides a simple low-cost opportunity to send fluorescent lamps to be recycled responsibly here in Ontario. Participants in the program also benefit from unique branding opportunities and ongoing promotion of this program in the Ontario marketplace.

Whether your lamp recycling needs are related to relamping, on-going service or a retrofit, Take Back the Light can help you.

Take Back the Light streamlines the process for getting bulbs to the recycler, and provides a cost–effective solution to handling fluorescent bulb waste.
