LightRecycle is an “industry product stewardship” program required by BC’s Recycling Regulation.  BC now has product stewardship programs for paint, tires and electronics and many other products.  Manufacturers and distributors of fluorescent lights sold in BC pay an “eco fee” to fund the program for every light sold.  The eco-fee may or may not appear on the retail receipt when you buy CFLs or fluorescent tubes. View Fees.
