Straight, Circular or Compact
Fluorescent & HID lamps

   These types of lights contain mercury.

   Using our specially designed fluorescent lamp machine, lamps are disassembled into their components:

  • Glass (used by others in the manufacture of fibreglass)
  • End caps (used by smelters)
  • Mercury containing phosphor powder (sent for removal of mercury through a distillation process; mercury then re-used)
