Our Durham team can usually schedule fluorescent tube collections within 1–2 working days. If you’re working to a specific timescale, let us know and we’ll arrange a time that fits your schedule.

Fluorescent tubes contain mercury, which makes them hazardous to handle and potentially harmful to the environment. Because of this, they can’t be placed in general waste or recycling bins. Contact our Durham team to arrange a safe and compliant fluorescent tube disposal.

It’s best to keep fluorescent tubes in their original packaging where possible, but we can still collect them if they’re loose. Our collection team will handle them safely regardless of how they’re stored.

We can supply lamp coffins and long-term storage containers for Durham organisations that produce fluorescent tube waste on a regular basis. This service works well for schools, warehouses, and property maintenance companies.

All fluorescent tubes we collect in Durham are sent to a licensed recycling facility. Here, mercury and other materials are carefully separated so that recyclable components like glass and metal can be reused responsibly.

After every fluorescent tube collection, we’ll issue a Hazardous Waste Consignment Note. This document proves that your lighting waste was collected, transported, and disposed of correctly under UK regulations.

We’re a registered waste carrier under licence number CBDU117809. You can check this on the government’s public register here:
