Yes, many kinds of light bulbs should be recycled.

Traditional fluorescent bulbs (the long tube bulbs) and compact fluorescent bulbs contain Mercury and should be recycled. Many towns or cities have programs to recycle these bulbs. Or, you can return the used bulbs to the place you bought it and they will recycle it for you (for example, Home Depot has a program for recycling bulbs). Traditional incandescent bulbs do not need to be recycled.
