Lamp Recycling

Illuminate the path to sustainability with Eco-Tech’s lamp recycling service. Our program ensures the safe disposal of used lamps, preventing mercury and other toxins from harming the environment. In today’s world, the importance of responsible waste management cannot be overstated, especially as electronic waste continues to rise. Our service not only provides a compliant solution to lamp disposal but also plays an integral role in the circular economy, promoting resource recovery and reducing landfill burdens.

Eco-Tech's process begins with an easy and accessible collection service, designed for businesses and households alike. By partnering with various collection points, we make it convenient for consumers to drop off their used lamps. Upon collection, the lamps are transported to our R2 Certified downstream partners, where trained professionals carefully disassemble them, ensuring that all hazardous materials are handled according to strict safety protocols.

Recycling lamps not only mitigates environmental hazards but also repurposes valuable materials. For example, glass and metal components can be recovered and reintroduced into manufacturing processes, significantly reducing the demand for raw materials and the associated environmental impact. In fact, the recycling of just one fluorescent lamp can recover up to 99% of the glass and 90% of the metals used in its production.

Additionally, our program emphasizes education and awareness. Through workshops and informational campaigns, Eco-Tech strives to inform the public about the importance of proper lamp disposal and the benefits of recycling. We believe that informed consumers are empowered to make sustainable choices, thereby fostering a culture of environmental responsibility.

Choosing Eco-Tech's lamp recycling service not only demonstrates a commitment to sustainability but also contributes to a larger movement aimed at creating a healthier planet. By participating in our program, individuals and organizations alike can be assured they are playing a crucial role in protecting natural resources and promoting a safe environment for future generations.

Join us in our mission to create a cleaner, greener future. Together, we can turn wasted materials into opportunities for sustainability, one lamp at a time.

Eco-Tech is dedicated to providing no cost recycling solutions, however items such as fluorescent bulbs, including compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs), and high intensity discharge (HID) bulbs, such as mercury vapor, metal halide, and high-pressure sodium bulbs, require special handling due to the presence of mercury and risk of shattering, resulting in handling fees for their acceptance and recycling; incandescent lamps, while mercury-free, also require careful handling to prevent shattering and thus are also subject to handling fees.

​

Choose Eco-Tech to stay green and prevent lamps from ending up in landfills! We operate ethically and responsibly by ensuring that all collected lamps from residential and commercial consumers are carefully packaged and transported directly to our Certified Lamp Processor for proper recycling.
