Energy saving light bulbs

retiredandskint

I've got quite a few unused old energy saving light bulbs and no longer need them. Is there a charity that would accept them or can they be donated to a good bank. It's a shame to just throw them out if someone could make use them.

Offer them to friends or neighbours or try freecycle

Thanks for the suggestions I hadn't thought of freecycle.

And I'm sure you know that we should not "just throw them out" even when they are spent.

I do. I'm slowly moving onto LED hence trying to find a good home for them :A

I've seen a few being sold in my local charity shops.

You could give them to a charity who will use then to raise money or give them to their clients.
