Can I throw mercury lamps into the trash?

The EPA recommends recycling fluorescent and HID lamps, which contain mercury. Federal regulations require that spent hazardous waste lamps be managed properly by certified organizations like TCRW and CRS. Most states allow lamps to be managed as “Universal Waste” if they are being recycled. If lamps are not recycled, they must be managed as hazardous waste.
