Compliant lamp and fluorescent tube recycling nationwide. Licensed mercury lamp treatment, 390+ CEF drop-off points, and full hazardous waste documentation.
Introduction
Lamp recycling is the specialist treatment of mercury-containing lamps and tubes at end of life. Fluorescent tubes, CFLs and HID lamps contain small amounts of mercury (3-5mg per tube), making them hazardous waste. We recycle all lamp types through our licensed facilities with 95%+ mercury recovery.

Explainer
Mercury poses significant environmental and health risks due to its high toxicity. Even minimal exposure from a broken lamp can lead to soil and water contamination. Engaging in professional recycling processes ensures the capture of over 95% of mercury, thereby preventing its release into the atmosphere and facilitating the recovery of valuable materials such as glass and metals for reuse.
