Hi Jacqui,
Thank you for your recycling enquiry — it's great that you reached out, as light globes can contain hazardous materials and should be disposed of with care.
Heat lamp globes cannot go in your kerbside recycling bin. Light globes and tubes aren’t compatible with standard glass recycling processes and can cause contamination.
These types of globes are best recycled through designated drop-off points. If that's not an option for you, they can be safely placed in your general waste bin — just be sure to double-wrap the globe in newspaper or cloth to prevent breakage and injury.
We’ve also added “heat lamp globe” to the Recycle Mate search catalogue to help others find this information more easily in the future.
Thanks again for your question. Feel free to reach out anytime with more recycling queries!
Best regards,
Murphy
