The Village of Schaumburg is now sponsoring a CFL bulb, Cell Phone and Household Battery drop off program. 

Residents should avoid the disposal of Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs and household batteries in the garbage for environmental reasons. Mercury from the CFL bulbs and toxic chemicals from the batteries can leach into the ground contaminating our water supplies. Because of this hazard, the Village of Schaumburg has arranged for drop off sites limited to village residents only. See below for the locations of the drop boxes:
