Fluorescent Lamps Disposal

2011-03-19T08:22:00.000-07:00

Fluorescent Lamps
Research shows that there are over 100 million fluorescent and highway lamps used in the United Kingdom each year which produce in excess of 3,100 tonnes of waste material which, until recently, has ended up in landfill sites.

Even though each lamp only contains a small amount or Mercury the sheer volume of waste means that large quantities of hazardous Mercury could find their way into our land and water supplies.

The Mercury from only one fluorescent tube can contaminate up to 30,000 litres of water beyond a safe standard for drinking.

It is no longer legal to use landfill sites for fluorescent lamp disposal and the modern and environmentally sound treatment is to recycle the fluorescent lamps extracting the glass and metal components and distilling the elemental Mercury from the powder in the lamps for reuse.

Ecolamp offer this recycling service and have a simple pricing structure based on a price for the storage unit and price for collection and recycling of the contents.

Ecolamp provide WEEE regulations compliant storage, disposal, collection and recycling solutions for fluorescent lamps, high intensity discharge (HID) lamps, linear fluorescent light bulbs and CFLs Compact fluorescent light bulbs.

From 1st July 2007 it is now no longer legal to use landfill sites or skips for disposal of fluorescent lamps, and by law, you must be able to prove to your Local Authority that you have complied with the new regulations. You are required to obtain a "Waste Transfer Note" to show that you have disposed of your waste in a responsible manner.

The Legal, (and environmentally sound) treatment is to recycle the lamps, extracting the glass and metal components and distilling the elemental mercury from the powder in the lamps for reuse.
The Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005, which came into force in July 2005, incorporated the European Waste Catalogue definitions to assess waste, under these definitions fluorescent tubes are classed as Hazardous Waste and MUST be handled in accordance with the regulation.

The new Waste Electrical and Electronic (WEEE) regulations came into force on 1st July 2007, making it illegal to dispose of any lamps without a transfer note proving that they are to be recycled, regardless of quantities. The maximum fines are £30,000 per lamp.

Our experienced and trained staff ensure that all waste lamps are properly documented and disposed of using the most cost effective and environmentally friendly route in compliance with all the current regulations. Whatever your requirements, whether you have a regular waste lamp problem or a 'one off' requirement for disposal, Ecolamp can help and will provide the same level of professionalism no matter how large or small the job. We issue full documentation and Waste Recycling Certificates.
