Fluorescent Tubes
In partnership with our friends at EcoLights and Total Reclaim, we are pleased to offer full recycling of all sizes of fluorescent tubes. Because these tubes contain mercury, it is important to not dispose of them in landfills. Over time, mercury can contaminate our groundwater as well as cause potential health risks if ingested. At Edmonds Recycling, all tubes are fed through a machine where they are broken apart to capture almost all of the mercury vapour inside. The mercury is contained in a number of filters until it is time to send them through a retort where it is captured again and then put back into the industry. All components including metal end-caps are separated and recycled.
If you or or company has any lamps to recycle please call 604-530-9235
Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs)
With the outright banning of the sale of the archaic incandescent bulb to come in a couple of years, CFL's are becoming more and more popular. These much more efficient bulbs save on your monthly electricity bill, but more importantly can be recycled like their cousin the tube. Because CFL's contain their own ballast, they contain circuitry that is recycled as E-Waste.
Edmonds Recycling handles and recycles all types of bulbs including:
U-Tubes
Circular
Incandescent
Halogen
High Intensity Discharge (HID)
Sodium Vapour
Projector
Neon
As well as others.
Just call us at 604-530-9235 for a complete list.
