Lamp and Ballast Recycling

We provide recycling for older lighting lamp and ballast containing toxic PCBs subject to regulations:

Ballast Recycling

  • Some older lighting ballasts contain toxic PCBs which are subject to special regulations for transport and disposal.

  • These ballasts are recycled free of charge when replaced under our lighting incentive programs.

Lamp Recycling

  • Standard linear fluorescents, lamps with green end caps or green marking, compact fluorescents, germicidal lamps, high intensity discharge (HID) and high-pressure sodium lamps all contain mercury. Mercury is a toxic substance and the improper disposal of this substance will have a long term environmental impact.

  • State regulatory agencies recommend recycling lamps that contain mercury.
