Benefits of Lamp Recycling


Because most of the office personnel and maintenance electricians already know, almost all the lights are considered hazardous waste and can not be issued again bulbs tossed into dumpsters. Because of the mercury content in fluorescent, mercury vapor lamps and other lighting and fragment, recommend recycling of components and lighting the lamp as the appropriate method of disposal.

Some countries even prohibit new non-hazardous-temperature low light from the waste discarded from the record. To remove the responsibility and risk of fines because of
improper disposal, offices must recycle their lamps.


"Like most offices, we make the bulb recycling that much more complicated than necessary," We carefully all the bulbs are placed in boxes and stored them, until the time that many rooms. When the recycling company came, and then we brought out the box to the truck. Meanwhile, boxing, store and carry The bulbs, we continue to worry about damage. "


Basically, there are two options for the right light disposals. One option is issued lights remain intact before buying. This method requires handling of the seriously light, which drives up the cost of labor and waste valuable storage space. The other option is to use a secure machine that crushes the light and keep pulverized fruit in the drum, which is then picked up by an recycler.

Crushing significantly reduced the amount of garbage we remove our problems and storage. It also reduces the amount of labor required to remove the bulbs and
we reduced our disposal costs. "

Set the controlled destruction Each country to write the rules permitting them.
In the hazardous waste regulations, control and subjugation are considered treatment facilities that treat waste is usually required to get permission. Exempt from the permit requirement in most states, however, is that people treat their waste "in a drum, tank or container."

"We fell right in this system, exemptions and many states agree that the ccumulation tank exemption applies to our engine," If you do not allow countries a universal waste under the regulations, then you can perform on-site demolition hazardous waste under the regulations as exempt from licensing requirements for public process. "

"With the lights and you reduce the crushing volume, minimizing handling, cut costs, and create a safe work environment."

"You spend crushing light make recycling much easier and more economical, and the return on your investment quickly enough," Time and labor costs associated with
handling the bulbs be substantially reduced. "

"Now, we only bring us down to the light bulb room and crush them instead of packaging and save them. It saves us a lot of space, and we save the cost of
recycling on us. "

I agree that a safe, easy and very cost effective when compared with the previous spend time boxing, storage and handling of spent bulbs. I also like the fact that the machine will not take any space and he will no longer have to worry about damage.

"Since the light pre-crushed, you reduce the costof recycling as part of the process of recycling the past has happened. Some recycling companies have difficulty processing crushed lamps,but others offer very low prices crushed lamp recycling. Therefore, you save time you pack light,you save space and cut the cost of your recycling. "

"Every non-housing facilities, which throws light to the dumpsters may think they are saving money, but they may be wrong, "warns Beierwaltes." Banting bulbs in the
trash can generate responsible for the cleaning of the remote sites and expensive progress. Because of the potential liability, there is a facility that recycles
light they not only help the environment but also their bottom line. "


"Regardless of whether your state allows you to cast light temperature in the low trash with other non-hazardous refuse, This lamp contains mercury, "said Beierwaltes. " They can be in dumpsters, or during transport in the landfill. When this happens, mercury released into air or land, so serious risk to the community around. "

When the light is sent to record or incinerated, the grain is very toxic mercury is released that can travel more than 200 miles. Overexposure to study the temperature can cause defects, damage the immune body and kidney function, harm the human nervous
system and, in extreme cases, cause loss of vision and hearing. Prenatal exposure can cause various health problems, including some form of cerebral palsy.

Proper packaging and recycling of spent lamps to reduce the very dilemma degrees, creating a more secure environment.

"The [light crusher] has been working out great for us, " said Irvine, who crushes large number of linear and U-tube. "If you have any reasonable amount of light to
dispose of, the destruction is worth your while."
