Donating or disposing of lightbulbs that are not burnt out By Mary Lu (Guest Post) I have MANY light bulbs that are still good.

(Guest Post) I always put them in a plastic container before I dispose of them. For this purpose I keep the empty containers from cleaning wipes, baby wipes, whipped cream tubs etc. near the recycle can in the garage. I also use them for disposing of any broken glass.

Seems as though the ziploc bag would also tear if the bulb is broken. Posted on 08/26/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Disposing of Burnt Out Light Bulbs By ThriftyFun (3107) Profile Blog! Contact Place blown-out light bulbs in a baggie before throwing them away. If it is accidentally crushed, the pieces won't tear the garbage bag.

Mainly because the box itself should be recycled not thrown in the garbage. If anything, I would suggest putting it in a laundry soap box, as they are not recyclable.

I've seen some cute ideas for making Santa's and snowmen on some of the different craft sites.

Maybe put it into an empty box of some sort, for example, a macaroni & cheese or milk carton instead? I don't worry about it, I just put the light bulb in the middle of the bag of garbage and have never had a problem with it crushing and breaking the garbage bag.
