Throwing Out Fluorescent Lamps: Overlooked Costs?
Friday, September 24, 2010
When fluorescent lamps burn out, it is easiest and cheapest to simply dispose of them in the trash, right? Wrong! This article from FacilitiesNet.com shows how throwing out lamps can lead to costly fines in states that require lamp recycling, and release harmful mercury vapors if the bulbs break.
Instead of illegally throwing away spent fluorescent lamps, try the EasyPak™ pre-paid recycling program from LampRecycling.com. The EasyPak program is simple to implement, uses minimal storage space, and offers documentation of proper recycling.
"The EasyPak program is outstanding--really easy to use. We just pack our waste and ship it out; it's as simple as that!"
- Eric Anderson, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care
