EPA Updates CFL Cleanup and PCB Exposure Guidance
Friday, April 8, 2011
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently issued new guidelines for proper handling of two common hazardous wastes: broken CFLs and PCB-containing lighting ballasts.
This article from Environmental Protection details the simplified CFL cleanup recommendations, and explains how to most efficiently retrofit PCB ballasts using upgrade programs and energy saving fixtures.
Recycle intact CFLs and non-PCB ballasts along with other mercury-containing wastes using EasyPak™ prepaid recycling containers from LampRecycling.com.
Start automatic reordering with a Sustainable Program to minimize time and paperwork: you only get a new container when the full one is shipped. Click here to learn more or sign up.
