Preparation & Transport Instructions

  • Follow these steps to safely transport your lamps for recycling:

    1. Transport lamps in closed boxes to prevent breakage

    2. Keep lamps in original packaging if available

    3. Don't stack heavy items on top of lamps

    4. Separate different lamp types when possible for best pricing

    5. For bulk quantities, keep lamps organized by type to avoid mixed lamp pricing

  • Transport Tip
  • Closed boxes are the safest way to transport lamps. If you don't have the original packaging, any sturdy box will work. When in doubt, call us at (719) 799-6517 for guidance.

Our Promise

Mercury in Fluorescent Lamps

  • Fluorescent lamps and CFLs contain small amounts of mercury, which is essential for their operation but makes proper disposal critical. Even a small amount of mercury can contaminate soil and water.

    • A single fluorescent tube contains 3-5mg of mercury

    • Mercury is a potent neurotoxin that bioaccumulates

    • Proper recycling recovers mercury for safe reuse

    • Never throw fluorescent lamps in the trash

    Environmental Benefits

    Recycling lamps and bulbs prevents hazardous materials from entering landfills and recovers valuable materials like glass, metals, and phosphor powder.

    • Prevents mercury contamination of soil and water

    • Glass and aluminum are recovered and reused

    • Reduces demand for raw material extraction

    • Complies with EPA universal waste regulations
