Disposal of LED fixtures with integrated LED tube light

I am interested in replacing fluorescent shop light fixtures with LED fixtures. How does one dispose of the LED fixture with integrated LED tubes at the end of its use?

While the specific laws and regulations may depend on your local authorities, integrated LED fixtures are typically considered universal waste and will require a special disposal process.
