Did you know that in North Carolina over 105 million milligrams of Mercury is ready for discard?

Did you know that in North Carolina there are approximately 15 million lamps ready for discard every year that contain mercury? Did you know that amounts to 231.5 pounds of Mercury and 105 million Milligrams of Mercury. (From Report on the Generation and Potential Recycling of Fluorescent Lights put out by NC DENR).

Compact fluorescent lights are a great tool when handled properly. Not only do the last up to 10 times longer compared to incandescent lights, they save a great deal of energy as well which has a great benefit locally on its impact from power plants, disposal of waste, etc...
Not only do CFLs contain small amounts of mercury, but other fluorescent lamps and some high intensity discharge (HID) lamps contain the heavy metal as well. Recycling a mercury-containing lamp ensures that 99.98 percent of the mercury used in the lamp is recovered, according to Lamprecycle.org (Earth911.com features a great article on how manufactures are taking steps to insure recycling and lower Mercury content.

Everyone at My Eco Lamp Recycling Solutions would like to say thank you for your help this year and for the opportunity to be of service. We wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving.

Practically Speaking Not Recycling Lamps is Illegal

Did You Know...

Many states require lamp recycling and proper disposal of ballasts, batteries, and electronic waste by law. In North Carolina, businesses who discard lamps have to show that each lamp is TCLP compliant and can not take manufacture's claims. This test alone can cost over $1,000 making throwing lamps away "Practically Speaking Illegal". Even green end cap lamps have mercury. In some cases, due to the green end cap lamps, people have become unaware and misinformed about the proper disposal of fluorescent lamps. Even green end cap lamps need to be recycled.

When a lamp is broken, disposed in a landfill, or incinerated, the mercury can travel over 200 miles and can contaminate air, surface water, and groundwater.

Prolonged exposure to high level of metallic, inorganic, or organic mercury can permanently damage the brain, kidneys and developing fetus.

CFL's and Recycling of Mercury Containing Lamps

I came across an article recently entitled CFL's It Takes a Team to Market a Lightbulb. I wanted to highlight an area that is close to our thoughts locally when it comes to recycling in our community in North Carolina. For more on this article visit below for a link to the full article.

"Even though CFLs represent a huge step forward in energy efficiency, all compact fluorescent bulbs including the Marathon bulb, contain a tiny, yet highly toxic amount of mercury. Mercury can cause mental instability, a change in personality, and damage to the liver and kidneys. Once in landfills, it can contaminate underground water supplies. Indeed, many states prohibit the disposal of CFLs in regular trash". We agree that CFLs are a great tool when it comes to addressing the issue of energy efficiency and believe that with the proper handling, they will help save resources and energy. Please Recycle Fluorescent Lamps at end of life and help keep our water streams clean.

Growing demand for CFL and Fluorescent Lamps Increases Need for Lamp Recycling Services

Recently we came across an interesting and informative article about the proper handling and disposal of CFL fluorescent lamps. With the increasing popularity of compact fluorescent lamps, there is also an increasing amount of hazardous (mercury containing) lamps ending up in our landfills. To find out more about recycling of fluorescent lamps visit here

Jennifer Goodman with EchoHome has a great article on CFL Bulb Disposal: Handle With Care Mercury-containing bulbs necessitate recycling, not trashing. Below is part of the article. To read the complete article, visit their site here

As homeowners embrace more efficient lighting technologies, remodelers, electricians, and other contractors should think twice before tossing light bulbs and lighting fixtures in the trash.

Growing in popularity due to their long life and low energy usage, compact fluorescent (CFL) and other energy-efficient light bulbs such as linear fluorescent and high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps contain a very small amount of mercury, a poisonous substance. Ten states and multiple local jurisdictions prohibit the disposal of mercury-containing products--including CFLs and other mercury-containing bulbs--in solid waste. (For state-by-state regulations click here.)

Just as pros learned to safely dispose of old mercury thermostats, they will need to devise a plan for the way they dispose of remodeling waste containing these new types of bulbs, says Mark Kohorst, senior manager for environment, health, and safety for the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA).

“For example, in the past a contractor doing a kitchen remodeling project would gut the kitchen and didn’t worry about the old fixtures and bulbs—for the most part 25-cent incandescents—that were going in the trash,” says Kohorst. “As the marketplace changes, some of this lighting could now include CFLs, which need to be treated as special waste.”

But even with the threat of fines and penalties, the residential building industry has been slow to embrace CFL recycling, says Mark Tibbetts, director of NEMA’s recycling initiative.

“Recyclers find contractors to be a very tough market to crack, partly because there hasn’t been a real threat of enforcement,” Tibbetts says. “But as a contractor, you are liable if these lamps are part of your demolition.”

In coming years, pros are sure to find more of these types of bulbs in the houses they remodel, Tibbetts adds. CFL use is expected to grow in part because traditional incandescent bulbs will be phased out by 2014 under the federal Clean Energy Act. In many areas, energy companies already are offering incentives such as mail-in rebates to incite homeowners to switch to CFLs.

Recycling Compact Fluorescent Lamps

Recently we have noticed that many folks still are not sure what to do with the "ice cream shaped" light called a compact fluorescent lamp when it comes to disposing of them? Do they contain mercury? If so, what would be the proper way to recycle a fluorescent lamp containing mercury? To answer this question Earth 911 has a great site and we thought we would share with you a section of their site where they talk about "Tips on Recycling a CFL" To find out more about Earth911.com visit the link below the feature for more information and a direct link to this content.

"Tips on Recycling a CFL

With compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), mercury content needs to be taken into consideration before disposal. Mercury is an extremely hazardous waste and is a major health concern when it comes in contact with humans and animals. In humans, mercury can cause brain and kidney damage. While many companies hope to have non-mercury CFLs in the near future, right now, such lamps are not currently available.

When you are ready to recycle your used lamps:

* Be sure to carefully package them to ensure that they do not break in transport. This could release dangerous toxins.
* An easy way to prepare used lamps for recycling is to box them up in the packaging from your new lamps.
* Store your old lamps until you can locate an appropriate place to recycle them." To find out more about Earth 911 and this article visit here

Fluorescent, HID, Mercury Containing Lamps. Opportunity for Recycling To Be on Rise?

Below is a great opportunity coming for the commercial lighting industry. With the DOE getting ready to fund what they call the "Retrofit Ramp-Ups" there will be a likely influx of fluorescent, HID, and other mercury containing lamps headed for disposal in our landfills. Join My Eco Lamp on its goal to help change tomorrow by "Planting Seeds of Hope" today with our lamp recycling service and solutions program. To find out more about the DOE program, read below and visit here This is a great opportunity to not only save energy but to make a difference on the impact for tomorrow's generation.

DOE to Fund up to $454 Million for Retrofit Ramp-Ups in Energy Efficiency
Projects Seek to Make Efficiency Accessible to Every Business and Homeowner

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu today announced a new $450 million program designed to catalyze a nationwide energy upgrade that experts estimate could save $100 million annually in utility bills for households and businesses. The Recovery Act’s “Retrofit Ramp-Up” program will pioneer innovative models for rolling out energy efficiency to hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses in a variety of communities. Much like past roll-outs for cable TV or the Internet, DOE intends to create models that, when undertaken nationally, will save consumers billions of dollars on their utility bills and make the huge savings of energy efficiency available to everyone.

“Energy efficiency isn’t just low-hanging fruit; it’s fruit lying on the ground. We have the tools to reduce energy use at home and at work and to provide huge savings to families and businesses on their energy bills. But use of these technologies has been far too limited because we lack the simple and effective ways for people to access them,” said Energy Secretary Steven Chu.

“The ‘Retrofit Ramp-Up’ program will support large-scale models that can open new energy efficiency opportunities to whole neighborhoods, towns, and, eventually, entire states,” continued Secretary Chu. “The Recovery Act will allow innovative communities to demonstrate a variety of sustainable business models that can be replicated across the country.”

The Request for Information (RFI) being issued today is for competitively-selected local energy efficiency projects. This competitive portion of the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program will target community-scale retrofit projects that make significant, long-term impacts on energy use and can serve as national role models for grassroots energy efficiency efforts. DOE is seeking public comment on this newly funded program under the Recovery Act. Public comment ends on September 28, 2009.

Going Green to Save Green

Have you ever wondered what all this buzz is about going green? Maybe you are even a little tired of hearing about green. At My Eco Lamp, we want to shed some light on what going green means to us and some simple ways to look at being stewards of the resources we have. Personally, I like saving money (green) and with a growing family we are always looking for ways to help save. One way we do this is by using energy saving lamps or compact fluorescent lights. With going green also comes responsibility, in our case when switching to energy efficient lighting we now have to be stewards of the light at end of life due to mercury in the lamps. To find out more about this read some of our other posts and online at our site My Eco Lamp

Going green also has taken on new meaning with our energy bill. Instead of having the AC set to 75 in the summer we now have it set at 80 to 82. This has been a huge savings to us as well. There are many additional ways to go green and save green. We would like to hear what you are doing to go green. Email us today or comment on our post. We would love to hear from you.

Are Mercury Containing Lamps an issue in North Carolina?

Recently, North Carolina has made the news on a national level. In this case, however it is not on a positive note. Mercury levels in fish and water streams in NC are at unsafe levels. Today we would like to ask, "Do you think North Carolina Businesses should recycle their fluorescent lamps, HID lamps, and other mercury containing lamps?". NC DENR has put out a report entitled "Report on the Generation and Potential Recycling of Fluorescent Lights". In this report there is a section which address the total amount of mercury ready for discard in North Carolina in what they refer to as Lamps Containing Mercury or "LCM's". In Table 2 they have estimate of Mercury Content of LCM's in Use and Sold in North Carolina or fluorescent lamps to be specific.

Table 2: There are an estimated 15 million lamps ready for discard annually in NC, 11 Million from commercial "non-household". There are estimated to be 120 million mercury containing lamps in use in North Carolina. Think about this, based on their estimates that would equal 105,000,000 milligrams of mercury ready to be discarded in North Carolina. We want to hear from you. Are you currently recycling fluorescent lamps? Does your business or organization have a plan in place for recycling of mercury containing lamps?

Flourescent Recycling Solutions for Small to Medium Size Businesses in North Carolina

Have you ever wondered what to do with a linear fluorescent light after changing it out? Or maybe you recently came across some old HID lamps that have not yet been thrown away? Did you know that in North Carolina and many other states that fluorescent lamps and other mercury containing lamps are banned from being disposed in the trash for "Non-Household" use. Whether you are a small business or a large business you may want to find out more about what to do with these lamps at end of life. My Eco Lamp, located in Raleigh, North Carolina has created a local service that helps keep down the cost of recycling for small to medium size businesses looking to recycle fluorescent lamps, HID lamps, other mercury containing lamps, ballast, batteries and other items. Providing local service is one way in which they hope to make a difference in the local community. "Helping keep 100 lamps or 1,000 lamps containing mercury adds up" says service specialist Harry. He goes on to say that even the lowest level fluorescent lamp still contains over a mg of mercury and it takes just 1mg to spoil a body of water. Being passionate about lighting in general has also helped My Eco Lamp with getting the word out about the benefits of recycling. One of the founders has a background in commercial lighting and enjoys helping answer questions about lighting and recycling. To find out more about fluorescent lamp recycling or just to say hi, you can visit My Eco Lamp online.

Why Recycle Fluorescent Lamps?

With the ever increasing popularity of the CFL-Compact Fluorescent Lamp (Or as some would say, the "Ice Cream" shaped lamp), comes the added responsibility of knowing what to do with them when they are at the end of life? There have been some great features on CFL's and the benefits of them. From saving energy, to lowering the impact of carbon footprints and green house gases.

We will not be discussing this today but instead would like to ask the question, "Why recycle fluorescent lamps"? All high energy efficient lamps contain mercury for the operation of the lamps. My Eco Lamp

Earth911 has summarized it this way on it's site under the topic of Facts About Light Bulbs We especially like the area that asks "What’s the Deal With Mercury?

Some lamps include mercury and are regulated by local governments as it relates to proper disposal. Throwing your burnt-out lamps in the trash is not only dangerous, but illegal. In such states as California, Minnesota, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and many more, it is unlawful for anyone to dispose of fluorescent lamps as universal waste. If you’re looking for somewhere to drop your spent CFL, you can recycle CFLs using Earth911.

* Every year, about 600 million fluorescent light bulbs are disposed of in U.S. landfills.
* This amounts to about 30,000 pounds of mercury waste.
* These bulbs can break and the vapors can harm not only workers, but also the environment through seeping into groundwater.
* In 1992, mercury containing bulbs were added to the U.S. EPA’s list of hazardous substances. Five years later, they moved to number three on that list.

In addition, we would love to hear from you. If you have a question about recycling or just curious about something, drop us a line.

Welcome to our blog on lamp recycling. We are delighted you have stopped by. Over the next couple of weeks we will be looking for ways to help with getting the word out about the benefits of recycling mercury containing lamps and also the dangers that we are facing in regards to lamps being discarded in landfills.

Is green good? "Green" end caps is great marketing. Over the last few years, I have been hearing this comment a little more often when it comes to lamps with green end caps, "Well, we purchase lamps that have green end caps and these do not have mercury in them and I can throw them away". This is one of the bigger challenges facing many towns and communities as many are unaware that these lamps do contain mercury. In fact, as of today on a 4 foot linear T-8 fluorescent lamp that has green end caps, there is actually about 1.7 milligrams of mercury. Some of the other green end cap lamps have much more mercury content.

Some facts about Mercury containing lamps (more to come in proceeding posts):
It takes just 1 milligram of mercury to contaminate up to 5,300 liters of water.

If a person were to throw away just 10 of the green end cap lamps using the above amount, that would be 17 milligrams. 100 would be 170 milligrams and 1,000 would be 1,700 milligrams.

Recycle Products Containing Mercury in North Carolina

We are excited about the progress that is being made with technology and lower level mercury containing lamps but like any tool, you have to respect it or you could be potentially hurt. In America, one-in-six children born every year have been exposed to mercury levels so high that they are potentially at risk for learning disabilities, motor skill impairment and short-term memory loss.

The Mercury from one fluorescent bulb can pollute 6,000 gallons of water beyond safe levels for drinking.

Did you know that all these lamp types contain mercury: CFL (compact fluorescent lamps) linear fluorescent lamps, Metal Halide, High Pressure Sodium, UV, Germicidal, U-Bend Fluorescent lamps and even green end cap lamps contain mercury.

If you are interested in finding out how your community can start a community recycling program for mercury containing lamps contact My Eco Lamp today and ask about the community program outreach "Planting Seeds".


North Carolina News On Recycling Fluorescent Lamps:

Recently North Carolina has presented House Bill 1287 to address the rising popularity of mercury containing lamps. House Bill 1287 Short Title: Recycle Products Containing Mercury.

My Eco Lamp is working locally in North Carolina to help spread the word about lamp recycling. We are looking for your help to spread the word. If you would like to find out more, please email or visit us online today. We have setup a Sprout page recently and would love your feedback.

Did you know even green end caps have mercury in them?

Why Recycle Fluorescent Bulbs?

*

In America, one-in-six children born every year have been exposed to mercury levels so high that they are potentially at risk for learning disabilities, motor skill impairment and short-term memory loss.
*

The Mercury from one fluorescent bulb can pollute 6,000 gallons of water beyond safe levels for drinking.
*

100 four-foot long fluorescent lamps contain about 4 grams of mercury. It only takes 1 teaspoon of mercury to contaminate a 20-acre lake FOREVER.
*

In 1992, mercury-containing lamps were added to the United States' Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) list of hazardous substances. (The EPA's regulatory threshold of 2 mg./liter is usually exceeded by mercury-containing lamps).
*

Mercury was number three on the 1997 list of hazardous substances as outlined by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and the EPA.
*

Each year, an estimated 600 million fluorescent lamps are disposed of in U.S. landfills amounting to 30,000 pounds of mercury waste.
*

The Environmental Protection Agency reports that 187 incinerators nationwide emit approximately 70,000 total pounds of mercury into the environment each year.

Did you know?

Recently we have been out talking with businesses about recycling of fluorescent lamps, ballasts, e-waste in the Raleigh, NC area. We are finding out alot of great information in this process and also helping get the word out about the health concerns and risks involved with lamps being thrown away.

Did you know that in North Carolina: Fluorescent lights discarded by non-households are effectively banned from disposal in solid waste landfills and incinerators (see fact sheet on the Regulatory Status of Fluorescent Lamps

Health Effects of Mercury

We are going to continue to share about the topic of Mercury and the effects it has on people and the environment. The EPA has a great section that discusses the topic in much more detail at I would like to highlight a few here.

*For fetuses, infants, and children, the primary health effect of methylmercury is impaired neurological development.

Fluorescent lamps contain Elemental mercury (including CFL's, and HID's).
*Elemental (metallic) mercury primarily causes health effects when it is breathed as a vapor where it can be absorbed through the lungs. These exposures can occur when elemental mercury is spilled or products that contain elemental mercury break and expose mercury to the air, particularly in warm or poorly-ventilated indoor spaces. The first paragraph on this page lists the factors that determine the severity of the health effects from exposure to mercury. Symptoms include these: tremors; emotional changes (e.g., mood swings, irritability, nervousness, excessive shyness); insomnia; neuromuscular changes (such as weakness, muscle atrophy, twitching); headaches; disturbances in sensations; changes in nerve responses; performance deficits on tests of cognitive function. At higher exposures there may be kidney effects, respiratory failure and death. People concerned about their exposure to elemental mercury should consult their physician.

Are all CFL's created equal-does it matter?

Today I came across a great site that goes into great detail about "green" lighting and the use of energy efficient lights including a popular growing light called a CFL also known as compact fluorescent light. Last year alone 300 million of these little lamps where sold. Should we be excited about this? Well in a sense yes but in another sense no. Just like all natural cleaning and "Green Cleaning" not all are created equal. I like to use this analogy, if something is 99% natural and 1% not natural does it make it natural or not? To find out more about energy saving lamps and lower mercury lighting, visit Environmental Working Group and check out the EWG's Guide to Light Bulbs.

Eco-Friendly, All Natural, LEDs and more.

This post is sort of a "catch all" or better put a summary of all that is going on with All Natural Cleaning blogs by All Natural Residential Green Cleaning. This new year has some exciting things in store. Recently my wife and I founded My Eco Lamp to help with making sure spent fluorescent lamps, ballasts, batteries and e-waste are recycled. To find out more about My Eco Lamp visit us online.

We also wanted to share some exciting news about our all natural cleaning post at Squidoo All Natural Cleaning We have made it in the top 25 of the Green Lens section on Squidoo. Thank you for all your help in helping change the way the world cleans, "Naturally".

Lastly, we wanted to point out that on our new site click here you will find some great LED lights and resources on natural lighting for both home and businesses. One of the great things about EarthLED is that they do not contain mercury and last a long time up to 10 times longer then a CFL and 50 times longer then a standard incandescent. Great job to the guys at EarthLED!
