Fluorescent
Lamps / Fluorescent Tubes
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 lamp 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 fluorescent
tube recycling by 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.
