Clear the old lighting. Keep the job moving.
An LED upgrade or routine maintenance can leave boxes of old lamps and fluorescent tubes to clear. We help facilities teams, electricians, schools and businesses arrange affordable lighting waste collections.
We collect fluorescent tubes, CFLs, LED lamps and other commercial lighting waste. Mixed bulbs can be included, with the appropriate disposal route for each type. If you are unsure what you have, a label photograph is useful.
Fluorescent tubes and many CFLs contain mercury and need hazardous waste handling. Keep tubes separate from other bulb shapes and protect lamps from breakage. Do not crush them or put them in general rubbish.
For ongoing lighting replacements, ask about fluorescent tube storage boxes, often called coffin boxes, and exchanges when full or on a schedule. We can help match the box to your lamp sizes.
Light fittings and emergency-light batteries can be collected through the relevant electrical and battery services. Keep them separate from lamps and let us know about broken tubes before collection.
Lamp & Bulb Recycling FAQs
Do you collect fluorescent tubes and mixed bulbs?
Yes. We collect a range of workplace lamps and bulbs. Keep straight tubes separate from other shapes and tell us what is included.
Can you supply fluorescent tube storage boxes?
Yes. Ask about coffin boxes and other suitable containers, with one-off or regular collections.
Are all bulbs hazardous waste?
No. Mercury-containing fluorescent lamps need hazardous waste handling. LED, halogen and other lamps must follow the appropriate route for their type.
What if some lamps are broken?
Tell us before collection and keep broken lamps separate. We will advise on suitable packaging; do not add loose fragments to intact lamp stock.
Can you collect light fittings and emergency-light batteries?
Yes, through the relevant WEEE and battery services. Keep these separate from the lamps.
How much does lamp recycling cost?
Lamp types, the amount, packaging and collection location affect the price. A rough box or container count helps if known.
