Drum-top crushers (DTCs) are devices that are designed to safely crush fluorescent lamps. DTCs fit on the top of a 55 gallon drum and crush the fluorescent lamps into the drum below. These devices are used to reduce the volume of waste lamps, so as to improve storage and handling and reduce shipping costs of waste lamps to make it easier to recycle them. They also are designed to prevent the release of mercury that is a key component of fluorescent lamps.
