Office Light bulb Recycling

Recycling Services, working in conjunction with Waste Management, will assess your light bulb waste and work with you to set up a light bulb recycling program best suited to your office recycling needs. Our light bulb recycling service is convenient and follows the highest industry standards for processing light bulb material.

All fluorescent lamps and all high intensity discharge lamps CFLs (fluroescent light bulbs) that are thrown in with waste are sent to landfills to be incinerated.  This method of disposal causes mercury to be released into the environment as the bulbs break or leak. Exposure to mercury has been known to cause heart attacks, mental retardation, and neurological disorders.

Recycling light bulbs filled with mercury can avoid harm to the environment and better the health of the entire food chain.
