How it works
From booking to paperwork
- 1
Tell us the quantity
A rough count of tubes and fittings is enough. Tell us about any broken lamps.
- 2
Keep them whole
Store tubes intact, ideally in their boxes or a tube bin, until we collect.
- 3
Specialist treatment
Lamps are processed in a sealed system that captures the mercury and recovers glass and metal.
- 4
Paperwork
You receive a Hazardous Waste Consignment Note for the lamps.
Staying compliant
The rules, handled for you
- Fluorescent and discharge lamps contain mercury and are classed as hazardous waste.
- Lamps should be kept whole and must not be crushed on site without the right permit.
- Hazardous waste must travel with a consignment note to a permitted facility.
Questions
Tubes & lighting FAQs
Do you take broken tubes?
Yes, but they must be bagged and kept separate. Tell us when you book.
Do you work with electrical contractors?
Yes. Contractors often book us to clear tubes and fittings after an LED upgrade.
Do LED lamps count as hazardous?
LED lamps are not usually hazardous but are still WEEE and must be recycled, so we take them too.
