1. How much drinking water can the mercury from one used fluorescent lamp contaminate above safe limits?
(All figures are official government statistics as supplied by DEFRA)

2. Up to how many used lamps could be recycled annually instead of landfilling?

3. What quantity of Mercury does this represent?

To minimise the environmental impact of landfilling of these waste streams, Solvwaste Environmental offer a collection and recycling service that re-uses ALL the components of the lamps. For further detailed information please click on the .pdf files listed below.

(all these files can be downloaded – but do require Acrobat Reader to view them. If you do not have acrobat reader you can download free using the link shown).

We can provide a range of purpose designed containers for safe storage and transport of used lamps (examples of some of our containers are shown). All that needs to be done, is for you to collect and store the UNBROKEN lamps. When full we collect the whole container, delivering a replacement at the same time. Alternatively we can transfer the used lamps into a container that we carry on our vehicles. The process enables us to reprocess for re-use ALL the components of a used lamp and produces mercury to 99.98% purity.
