Fluorescent Lighting Tubes Disposal and Recycling
Many organisations and industries depend on fluorescent lighting tubes, yet improper disposal of these tubes can endanger the environment. This is due to the fact that they contain trace levels of mercury, a poison. To maintain compliance and save the environment, fluorescent lighting tubes must be disposed of in line with the rules.
At AA Waste Solutions, we offer comprehensive fluorescent lighting tubes disposal and recycling services across the UK.
Our Fluorescent Lighting Tubes Disposal and Recycling Process:
We offer convenient collection services for fluorescent lighting tubes from your business premises. Our trained professionals handle the collection process, ensuring the safe transportation of the tubes to our recycling facility.
Upon arrival at our facility, the fluorescent lighting tubes are carefully segregated from other waste materials. We follow strict protocols to ensure proper handling and minimise the risk of mercury contamination.
Our state-of-the-art recycling technology allows us to extract valuable materials from the fluorescent tubes. We recover glass, metals, and plastics through efficient recycling processes, diverting these resources from landfills and promoting a circular economy
As fluorescent tubes contain hazardous mercury, we have specialised processes in place to safely handle and dispose of this material. Our team ensures that all mercury is properly contained and treated according to environmental regulations.
We prioritise compliance with all relevant regulations and legislation governing fluorescent tube disposal and recycling. Upon completion of the process, we provide the necessary documentation and certification, giving you peace of mind and evidence of your responsible waste management practices.
Types of Fluorescent Lighting Tubes We Service
Circular Tubes
Circular fluorescent tubes have a distinct circular shape and are often used in specialised lighting fixtures, such as round ceiling fixtures and decorative lighting.
High-Output (HO) Tubes
High-output fluorescent tubes are designed to produce more light output than standard tubes. They are commonly used in areas that require high levels of illumination, such as warehouses, factories, and outdoor lighting applications.
Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs):
CFLs are energy-efficient alternatives to traditional incandescent bulbs. They are commonly found in residential and commercial settings, including homes, offices, and retail spaces.
LED Bulbs
technology has revolutionised the lighting industry with its energy efficiency and durability. While LED bulbs last significantly longer than traditional lighting options, they still require proper disposal to minimise environmental impact. Our team is well-equipped to handle LED bulb disposal, adhering to strict recycling practices to ensure their eco-friendly processing.
Halogen Lamps
Halogen lamps are widely used for their bright and focused lighting capabilities. When these lamps reach the end of their life, disposing of them responsibly becomes essential. At AA Waste Solutions, we take pride in providing safe and eco-conscious disposal for halogen lamps, ensuring that their materials are recycled and not wasted.
Incandescent Bulbs
Incandescent bulbs, although less energy-efficient compared to newer alternatives, are still present in many households and businesses. When you need to replace these bulbs, we are here to handle their disposal responsibly, promoting a cleaner environment for future generations.
Please note that the above list is not exhaustive. We are equipped to handle various sizes, wattages, and configurations of fluorescent lighting tubes. If you have specific types of tubes not mentioned here, please contact us, and we will be happy to assist you.
