No, you cannot dispose of neon lights in your recycling bin. Neon lights are considered hazardous waste due to the presence of gases like mercury vapor or other noble gases. These components can be harmful to health and the environment if broken or improperly discarded.
👉 Do not put neon lights in any kerbside bin — neither recycling nor garbage.
Instead, take them to a designated hazardous waste facility or specialist lighting recycler in your area, following local council guidelines.
Kind regards,
Murphy
