Lamp Recycling

Lamps such as linear fluorescent tubes, compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL), and many other commercial, consumer and industrial-grade lamps use mercury as an essential component.

Though not harmful when undisturbed, light bulbs are fragile, and their breaking release potentially hazardous vapors into the environment.

While you may take precautions to avoid the impact in the rare occasion someone breaks a light bulb, the effects can be potential devastating if they make it into the landfills.

For more than 40 years, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act have regulated sources of mercury and their subsequent final destination.

The State of California, as one of the leaders in waste diversion, has maintained a very strict stance on the Storing & Handling of mercury containing lamps.

Thankfully, the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) provides detailed instructions as its suggested handling procedures on it’s website calrecycle.com.

However, it assumes you understand your responsibility and your role when it comes to handling mercury containing devices.

Businesses, institutions, municipalities and even homeowners that fail to do so can be subject to penalties. In California, penalties can reach $25,000 for each incident.
