Fluorescent Lamps / Fluorescent Tubes
Ecoshred offer a fully ISO accedditted service that enables you to dispose of your used fluorescent lamps and electrical lighting legally and compliantly.
Hazardous chemicals like mercury and phosphor used in the production of lighthing and lamps means that it is now illegal to dispose of these items using skips/bins or your local landfill site. Instead you now have to prove you have discarded and recycled them to the satisfactory levels set within the WEEE directive.
Ecoshred provide a simple and flexible service that will keep you safe and secure within the WEEE directive and Hazardous Waste regulation 2005.
We collect, dispose and recycle all of your items and then provide you with all the relevant Waste Transfer and Hazardous Waste certificates. We also provide storage solutions for all your lamps and electrical items until they are ready for collection.
