Bins for Lamps

Lamps

Lamps containing mercury such as energy-saving lamps and fluorescent tubes are collected via Recupel. We are a Recupel-certified collector. These products are processed at certified sites.

What happens with Lamps

"With the aim of recovering as much material as possible, fluorescent tubes are treated in an environmentally-friendly way in an ""end-cut/air-push"" machine. The fluorescent powder containing mercury is blown out of the tubes using compressed air (air-push) and collected in closed, steel drums. Once purified, the empty tubes are crushed and the glass debris is then stocked in soft ""big bag"" style containers. A metal detector separates the metal particles present in the glass debris. The glass is ground finely and reused to make new fluorescent tubes or for another useful application."
