Columbus Water & Light (CWL) is proud to offer its lamp recycling service again. Through our wholesale power supplier, WPPI Energy, the utility contracts with a licensed recycler for the collection of these hazardous materials. Because the contractor serves all 51 WPPI Energy members, they offer very competitive prices, and CWL passes these savings on to you directly. Lamp Recyclers, Inc. of Green Bay is the present vendor.

Using the following form, please inventory your materials, compute the total fee, then properly package. The employee assisting with the unloading will verify the inventory. We ask that all participants follow the rules outlined by Lamp Recyclers:
- All materials must be in boxes to prevent spillage.
- Customers should use original packages or cardboard boxes for intact bulbs and ballasts.
- Please use heavy plastic bags for broken lamps.
- DO NOT TAPE BULBS TOGETHER.
Special note for ballasts: Any ballast that does not have the phrase ‘no PCBs’ will be charged at the PCB ballast rate. There is a minimum ballast charge of $40 for any PCB containing ballasts.
