Lamp Recycling

Lights, Lamps
and Fluorescent Tube Recycling

Many businesses are unsure of the correct way to dispose of used lamps and fluorescent tubes, especially given the regulations surrounding their disposal. These tubes contain mercury, which makes safe handling and recycling essential. Their fragile nature and the risk of environmental contamination add to the complexity.

Olital Recycling offers a complete solution for the safe storage and collection of all types of lamps and bulbs, including fluorescent tube recycling. Whether you’re a small business or a large organisation, our services are tailored to meet your specific requirements.

We supply UN-approved containers for compact fittings such as sodium lamps, as well as specialised collection unitsโ€”commonly known as โ€˜coffinsโ€™ or โ€˜RB19sโ€™โ€”specifically designed for the secure transport and recycling of fluorescent tubes.

Fluorescent Tube Recycling โ€“ Safe Storage, Collection, and Disposal Solutions

Our UN-approved barrels are ideal for the safe storage and transport of smaller lighting components, such as sodium lamps. These containers meet all relevant safety and compliance standards, giving you confidence that your lamp disposal process is handled responsibly.

Fluorescent tubes require extra care due to their fragile nature and mercury content. Olital Recycling offers purpose-built containers specifically designed to store and transport fluorescent tubes securely, helping to reduce the risk of breakage and environmental harm while ensuring full compliance with disposal regulations.

Why Responsible Fluorescent Tube Recycling Matters

Recycling fluorescent tubes is essential for protecting both the environment and public health. These tubes contain hazardous substances, particularly mercuryโ€”a toxic element that poses serious risks to humans, wildlife, and ecosystems. When fluorescent tubes are sent to landfill, mercury can leach into the soil and water, leading to contamination and long-term environmental damage, including potential entry into the food chain.

In addition to their hazardous components, fluorescent tubes also contain valuable materials such as glass, metals, and phosphor powder. By recycling these components, we reduce the demand for raw material extraction, conserve natural resources, and lower the carbon emissions associated with manufacturing new products. This supports a more sustainable and energy-efficient approach to resource management.

Recycling also alleviates pressure on landfill sites, helping to prevent pollution and extend their usable lifespan. With growing waste volumes, it’s more important than ever to divert hazardous materials like fluorescent tubes to proper recycling facilities.

Furthermore, proper recycling ensures compliance with environmental regulations, which are increasingly strict about the handling of mercury-containing products. At Olital Recycling, we make sure these materials are processed safely and responsibly, contributing to a cleaner planet and supporting a circular economy.
