Question

Can we recycle candles??

Answer 1

Candles can be recycled at home, by melting down the residual wax, and making new candles.  You can buy new wicks at hobby& craft stores.

Answer 2

i agree that light bulbs dont have mercury in them, or i wudnt use them in my house with 2 young children.  also it can be fun to remake candles by melting them down. i wish i had the time to do this

Answer 3

no because wax cannot be recycled. but if you want light without hurtng the environment get those twisty lightbulbs

Answer 4

Definately, but melting wax is really tricky.  A lot more than you would think.  Go to the website I have listed and it shows you how to make candles.

Answer 5

If you bicycle to work......Then bicycle home, that's recycling.

I disagree on the twisty bulb thing.........They do more environmental harm when it's time to dispose of them.

Why?  Because of the Mercury content insid of  them.

Answer 6

Johnlong is an idiot, they do not use Mercury in the new bulbs, you should smack whoever told you that.  And yes you can recycle candles melt them down and re-wick them.
