Lamp recycling
Intact or pre-crushed. All types, all sizes.
Our facility is permitted by the EPA to accept intact and pre-crushed lamps of all types and sizes, from straight fluorescent tubes and U-shaped lamps to mercury vapor, metal halide and HID lamps. All fluorescent and HID lamps contain small amounts of mercury, so every container is inventoried, stored and staged, then shipped to a downstream facility for processing.
