Until recently, only the Eastern Sanitary Landfill Solid Waste Management Facility (ESL) in White Marsh accepted compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) from County residents. The collection program now includes two more locations - Western Acceptance Facility (WAF) in Halethorpe and the Baltimore County Resource Recovery Facility (BCRRF) in Cockeysville.
In addition to CFLs, these facilities will now accept fluorescent bulbs, mercury thermometers and thermostats, and lead-acid and rechargeable batteries. Recycling these materials helps to keep potentially dangerous substances, including mercury, out of landfills. Commercial loads of these materials are not accepted at any of Baltimore County's three drop-off centers.
