Are you compliant with the WEEE regulations and ensuring the safe disposal and recycling of your waste fluorescent lamps?


From 1st July 2007 the WEEE regulations state it is now no longer legal to use landfill sites or skips for disposal of fluorescent lamps, high intensity discharge (HID) lamps, linear and CFLs compact tube light bulbs and by law, you must be able to prove to your Local Authority that you have complied with the new WEEE 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 fluorescent 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, high intensity discharge (HID) lamps, linear fluorescent light bulbs and CFLs compact fluorescent light bulbs 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.
