Ballasts ~ 30 cents per pound
Lamp ballasts manufactured prior to 1978 likely contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). When released into the environment, PCBs persist for many years and bioaccumulate in organisms. Any ballast containing PCBs is a dangerous waste that needs to be recycled or disposed according to state and local regulations.
Residents and businesses are encouraged to recycle all light ballasts. Ballasts marked “No PCBs” may be recycled at Goods for the Planet. Assume that any ballast not specifically marked “No PCBs” contains PCBs. Consumers wishing to dispose of fluorescent light ballasts that are not specifically marked "No PCBs" should consult the Local Hazardous Waste Management Program for guidelines and a list of service providers that accept ballasts containing PCBs or call the Household Hazards Line at 206-296-4692 or the Business Waste Line at 206-296-3976.

Last year Seattle residents sent more than 45,000 tons of food to the landfill. Why waste a good thing? Pick up a worm bin at Goods for the Planet or put your leftovers in your food and yard waste cart and they'll be made into compost for local parks and gardens. Learn more at Seattle Public Utilities.
