Light Bulb Recycling

Light Bulb Recycling

R3Ewaste provides lamp recycling solutions that are second to none. Our downstream facilities have been designed to accept intact and pre-crushed lamps of all sizes and types. We manage almost all aspects of the lamp recycling process through our downstream partners who operate the very best lamp processing equipment, using mercury retort ovens to remove mercury from phosphorus powder, and even triple distillation equipment to recycle mercury back to virgin specification.

Lamp recycling is usually expensive with incumbent processors charging up to $0.25 per linear foot or even $0.50 per bulb! So, if you are a company with large quantities to recycle this can add up to a substantial cost. However, R3Ewaste is also a leading electronics recycler. Businesses combining their e-waste with their lighting are almost always able to offset the lighting cost with revenues applied from the e-waste surplus.
