Universal Waste Collection

The Universal Waste Collection Events for Burlington businesses are scheduled for the following Mondays in 2013:

Monday, January 28

All events are held from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m in the parking lot of the Burlington Human Services Building, which is located at 61 Center Street, Burlington, MA. Materials are collected by the vendor, CRS, for a fee.

Materials that will be accepted for recycling and proper disposal include the following:

  • Fluorescent lights (straight, U-tubes and circline)
  • Mercury and Metal Halide Lamps
  • Mercury, lead-acid, Nickel/cadmium and lithium containing batteries
  • PCB and non-PCB ballasts
  • Mercury in Manufactured Articles
  •    Electrical Equipment (Cathode ray tubes, computer monitors, televisions, computer and electronic equipment)
