What Are My Fluorescent Lamp Recycling Options?
Wednesday, September 14, 2016
Facility executives everywhere are motivated by state and
federal regulations, the quest for efficiency, and environmental sustainability
to find a recycling program that best fits their operations. So, how do you
make an educated decision? Better yet, are there multiple solutions that could
benefit a single facility?
Take the quiz to see which service is right for you here!
Bulk Pickup: The
most popular option, bulk recycling is a common solution to fluorescent lamp
recycling. Spent lamps are packed into boxes or fiber drums until it’s time for
your scheduled pickup. This is a relatively inexpensive option, but still
requires that your facility store spent lamps for up to a year.
Pre-Paid Recycling Containers: By purchasing our EasyPak containers, you’ll increase
efficiency in your facility while saving space. Auto-replenishment delivers new
lamp recycling containers, protected by VaporShield technology, to your
facility as needed. Easily create your mail-in pre-paid recycling program
online at lamprecycling.com.
Lamp Crushing: By
investing in a drum-top lamp crusher, like our Bulb Eater or Bulb Eater 3,
facility managers can reduce the volume of spent lamps to eliminate storage
space and transportation costs associated with recycling intact lamps. Lamp
crushing works in tandem with bulk recycling as full drums are scheduled for
pickup and delivery to proper recycling facilities based on your business’
unique needs.
How do you decide? First, it’s important to understand your
state regulations. For example, crushers are regulated at the state level as a
means of monitoring mercury emissions to support the environment. Our drum top
lamp crushers are rigorously tested to safely crush lamps while capturing
virtually all harmful mercury in the process.
