What happens to recycled lamps?
This depends on your recycling company. Some self-titled “recyclers” or “reclaimers” actually dump the components after your lamps are crushed and filtered! Lamp recyclers, Inc. guarantees that the three components resulting from the processing of waste lamps and bulbs — glass, metal end caps, and phosphor powder — are recycled, not landfilled. We encourage you to ask your recycler if they are dumping any part of your processed lamps. As the generator of this waste, you may be held liable if your recycler improperly handles your waste.
