You can save money, avoid potential health hazards and reduce your chance of liability by recycling spent fluorescent lamps and ballasts. Fluorescent lamps generated from energy upgrades use mercury and are considered to be hazardous waste. Certain ballasts contain PCBs and pose a threat to human health and the environment. Corporate Energy is committed to providing the highest quality, cost-effective waste management for ballasts and lamps to help your company avoid potential liabilities and meet regulations. Recycling will return recycled materials to reusable commodities while maintaining the highest level of professional standards and integrity, ensuring regulatory compliance, and guaranteeing customer satisfaction.

Recycling Fluorescent and HID Lamps
Any fluorescent or HID lamp regardless of whether the lamp tests hazardous can be recycled. Recycling separates the toxic substances, such as mercury, from the glass, aluminum, and other lamp components. All materials may be reused in manufacturing other products.

Recycling Ballasts
The PCB-containg materials (i.e. the capacitor and the asphalt potting material surrounding the capacitor) are removed for incineration or land disposal. Metals, such as copper and steel, are reclaimed from the ballasts for use in manufacturing other products. Non-PCB ballasts may be recycled.

Certification of Disposal
Because conventional disposal methods have no guarantees, Corporate Energy helps protect your company against the inherent liability of PCB wastes with the assurance of disposal verification. Upon reduction of the PCB ballasts and transshipment of the PCB capacitor waste to an approved EPA facility for disposal, a certificate verifying the permanent disposal of PCB waste generated will be issued.
