Lamps, Ballast and Lighting Components Recycling

Solutions listing
From one of our five processing facilities across North America, our state-of-the art processing equipment is capable of processing up to 250,000 lamps per day.

The challenge as we see it

Lamps, ballast and lighting components usually contain mercury, lead and other heavy metals, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) or other harmful materials — all of which are considered toxic and hazardous to human health and the environment. The federal government and all 50 states have enacted rules and regulations to address the proper management of these materials. Failure to manage these items in accordance with regulations may put you and your company at risk as well as endangering public health.
