Maintenance
If vacuuming is needed to ensure removal
of all broken glass, keep the following tips
in mind:
• Keep a window or door to the outdoors
open.
• Vacuum the area where the bulb was
broken using the vacuum hose, if
available; and 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.
• 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 properly.
• Check with your local or state
government about disposal
requirements in your area. Some states
and communities require fluorescent
bulbs (broken or unbroken) be taken to a
local recycling center.
• Wash your hands with soap and water
after disposing of the jars or plastic
bags containing bulb debris and cleanup
materials.
• Continue to air out the room where the
bulb was broken and leave the H&AC
system shut off, as practical, for several
hours.
