How Our Fluorescent Tube Disposal Service In South Shields Works

We have our trained operatives arriving on-site to gather your lighting waste safely and efficiently. All of your fluorescent tubes are loaded securely before being transported to a licensed recycling facility where mercury and phosphor are removed using specialised technology. Remaining materials, including glass and aluminium, move on to approved recycling processes.

Our service covers a complete range of lighting waste, such as:

✔️ T5, T8, and T12 fluorescent tubes
✔️ Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs)
✔️ UV and germicidal tubes
✔️ Circular fluorescent lamps
✔️ Coated and shatterproof tubes
✔️ Large fittings and commercial lighting units

Working with Yes Waste on our lighting upgrade was an excellent experience. Their operatives managed the removal of a large volume of tubes with precision and kept disruption to a minimum. They supplied complete documentation straight after the job, making compliance simple for our team.

Most of our fluorescent lamp waste collections in South Shields can be booked within one to two working days, depending on operational availability. We arrange appointments that work around your schedule to keep disruption low.

Most fluorescent tubes contain mercury and phosphor, both regulated as hazardous materials under UK law. These substances must be handled by licensed professionals to ensure compliance and protect the environment.

Storing your fluorescent tubes in their original cartons is helpful, but as long as they’re left in a secure space that prevents breakage, that’ll be fine as well. Even if your tubes are loose or damaged, our operatives can still collect and recycle them safely.

We can provide lamp coffins and secure storage containers for businesses generating fluorescent lighting waste routinely. These containers let you store lamps safely between scheduled collection dates.

Once we’ve collected your fluorescent lamps, we’ll make sure they’re transported to a licensed recycling facility for processing. Hazardous components are removed through controlled processes, while recyclable elements like aluminium and glass are separated and processed responsibly.

A Hazardous Waste Consignment Note will be issued upon completion of your fluorescent lamp waste collection service. This document confirms how your tubes were handled and provides full compliance evidence for your records.
