ALL FLUORESCENT LAMPS IN CALIFORNIA MUST BE RECYCLED.
All fluorescent lamps and tubes are considered
hazardous waste in California when they are
discarded because they contain mercury.
(Title 22, division 4.5, chapter 11, section 66261.50)
This includes:
• Fluorescent tubes
• High Intensity Discharge (HID) Lamps
When mercury-containing tubes are placed in the
trash and collected for disposal, the lamps or tubes
are broken and mercury is released to the environment.
Mercury from broken tubes can be absorbed
through the lungs into the bloodstream.
People who are particularly close to the breakage
are especially at risk. Mercury from broken lamps,
bulbs and tubes can also be washed by rain water
into waterways.
Recycling will preserve our future. Water is so
very important to our everday lives.
All Lamp Recycling, LLC is here to help you
with your recycling needs.
Recycling with All Lamp Recycling, keeps mercury out of our waterways!
