Baltimore County is expanding its residential recycling program for compact fluorescent lamps, fluorescent bulbs, mercury thermometers and thermostats, and lead-acid and rechargeable batteries, officials said. Residents may now recycle these items at the Western Acceptance Facility in Halethorpe and the Baltimore County Resource Recovery Facility in Cockeysville, in addition to the Eastern Sanitary Solid Waste Management Facility in White Marsh. Only residential items, and not commercial loads, will be accepted. County government also will begin to recycle these items in most of the buildings that it owns or maintains, officials said.
