| Recycling lamps is environmentally preferable to sending them to landfill,
although it is more costly. The need to comly with European & UK
Health and Safety environmental legislation is likely to push up
the cost of landfill making recycling a more attractive long-term
option. Now that recycling is available most reputable waste service
providers will no longer accept fluorescent tubes or mercury and
sodium filled lamps for landfill. |
| Using Swedish technology that is authorised and licenced by the Environmental
Agency, the tube's component parts are separated and the mercurial
powder is distilled to produce 99.98% pure mercury. The glass,
metals and mercury are all reused in other industries. |
| As the mercury from one flourescent tudoe can pollute 30,000 litres of
water beyond a safe level for drinking, there are strong environmental
reasons for recycling. |
| We arrange collection of your unbroken lamps and tudes then send these
for recycling. It's as simple as that. |
