I'm trying to get better at recycling, mostly by finding places to bring my stuff. Do I have this right? This is mostly just based on searching earth911, but I'm not sure they are 100% up-to-date.

Broken lightbulbs: Maybe Batteries + Bulbs
Broken lightbulbs: Hamilton County dropoffs
Alkaline batteries, pretty much all lightbulbs except maybe LEDs: Batteries + Bulbs
Alkaline batteries, pretty much all lightbulbs except maybe halogen bulbs: ToxDrop
Phones: Lowe's
Phones: RecycleForce
Tires: South Side Landfill and Recycling Center
#5 plastic (rigid): Seems like a lot of people will take it but probably nobody actually recycles it
#7 plastic (rigid): Seems like a lot of people will take it but probably nobody actually recycles it.

Oooh, that's a good one. Editing the post with that. Do you know whether they take broken bulbs and/or halogen? Pretty niche, I know.

reddit also recommended recycleforce.

Sorry, I don't. Hamilton county haz takes them, so I'd try if I was you. Worst is you drive something back home.
