Lamp Recycling:
To keep the small amount of remaining mercury in a spent lamp out of landfills, businesses, schools, governments and building owners should dispose of fluorescent, ultraviolet, neon, and metal halide lamps separately from regular commercial and building waste. Some states mandate that businesses and building owners recycle mercury-added lamps. Local waste disposal and public works authorities should be consulted for lamp recycling requirements and opportunities. An entire industry of commercial lamp recyclers has evolved to collect and recycle fluorescent and HID lamps from apartment and office buildings, retail stores and warehouses, schools and government buildings.Read more about the EPA funded program, the Lamp Recycling Outreach Program at lamprecycle.org
