b. Vacuum the area where the bulb was broken using the vacuum hose, if available; and
c. Remove the vacuum bag (or empty and wipe the canister) and seal the bag/vacuum
debris, and any materials used to clean the vacuum, in a plastic bag.
5) Promptly place all bulb debris and cleanup materials, including vacuum cleaner bags, outdoors in
a trash container or protected area until materials can be disposed of. Avoid leaving any bulb
fragments or cleanup materials indoors.
6) Next, check with your local government about disposal requirements in your area, because
some localities require fluorescent bulbs (broken or unbroken) be taken to a local recycling
center. If there is no such requirement in your area, you can dispose of the materials with your
household trash.
7) Wash your hands with soap and water after disposing of the jars or plastic bags containing bulb
debris and cleanup materials.
8) Continue to air out the room where the bulb was broken and leave the HVAC system shut off, as
practical, for several hours.
Cleanup Steps for Carpeting or Rugs
1) Carefully scoop up glass fragments and powder using stiff paper or cardboard and place debris and
paper/cardboard in a glass jar with a metal lid. If a glass jar is not available, use a sealable plastic
bag. (NOTE: Since a plastic bag will not prevent the mercury vapor from escaping, remove the plastic
bag(s) from the home after cleanup.)
2) Use sticky tape, such as duct tape, to pick up any remaining small glass fragments and powder. Place
the used tape in the glass jar or plastic bag.
3) Vacuuming of carpeting or rugs during cleanup is not recommended unless broken glass remains
after all other cleanup steps have been taken. [NOTE: It is possible that vacuuming could spread
mercury-containing powder or mercury vapor, although available information on this problem is
limited.] If vacuuming is needed to ensure removal of all broken glass, keep the following tips in
mind:
a. Keep a window or door to the outdoors open
b. Vacuum the area where the bulb was broken using the vacuum hose, if available, and
c. Remove the vacuum bag (or empty and wipe the canister) and seal the bag/vacuum debris,
and any materials used to clean the vacuum, in a plastic bag.
4) Promptly place all bulb debris and cleanup materials, including vacuum cleaner bags, outdoors in a
trash container or protected area until materials can be disposed of. Avoid leaving any bulb
fragments or cleanup materials indoors.

practical, for several hours.
Future Cleaning of Carpeting or Rugs: Air Out the Room During and After Vacuuming
1) The next several times you vacuum the rug or carpet, shut off the HVAC system if you have one,
close the doors to other rooms, and open a window or door to the outside before
vacuuming. Change the vacuum bag after each use in this area.
2) After vacuuming is completed, keep the HVAC system shut off and the window or door to the
outside open, as practical, for several hours.
