Green tip - Use recycling service for light globes

With Earth Hour coming up on Saturday 28 March, many of us are considering what else we can do to reduce our environmental impact - beyond installing ISO 11143 compliant amalgam separators.

Flashback is a free service for households that allows the placement of used fluorescent globes in specially designed bins and boxes. The globes contain valuable materials such as glass and mercury, which can be reused to make other products.

Find out where to take your unwanted light globes by visiting the ResourceSmart website or call the Sustainability Victoria Infoline on 1300 363 744.

Both the Earth Hour and ResourceSmart websites provide tips and information on how to reduce our impact on the environment.
