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

Lamp Recycling for a Better Tomorrow

Have you ever wondered why recycle fluorescent lamps (CFL's, Linear) and other mercury containing lamps? Or maybe are curious about lamp recycling in general? Most would agree that recycling in general is good for the community and environment. Many people today do not think twice about recycling a soda can and other commonly recycled materials. Recycling of lamps however is not as common. It has been estimated that only about 2% of households recycle lamps using the HHW sites. It is our desire to help spread the word about the benefits of recycling and also to help with having a local service that would allow for curbside pickup of lamps. My Eco Lamp, LLC is currently servicing the Raleigh, North Carolina market and is looking for help to expand operations to service all of North Carolina. If you are a small business or household in the Raleigh area, please visit My Eco Lamp today to find out how you can help recycle lamps for a better tomorrow.
