Tavistock Fluorescent Tube Collection & Disposal Service

Across Tavistock, we work with commercial organisations by providing dependable bulk fluorescent tube collection and disposal services. The mercury and phosphor inside fluorescent lamps mean they are classified as hazardous waste, which legally requires a licensed waste carrier to remove and transport them, in accordance with UK disposal laws.

All collections comply with:

✅ Hazardous Waste Regulations
✅ Environmental Protection Act
✅ WEEE Directive

For businesses seeking a commercial fluorescent tube disposal service in Tavistock, we can arrange a collection designed around your site and operational needs.

How Our Fluorescent Tube Disposal Service In Tavistock Works

As soon as your fluorescent lamp waste clearance has been booked, we’ll make sure to update our operatives’ schedules so they know when to arrive on site. All of your lighting waste will then be moved to a licensed recycling facility, where mercury and phosphor are extracted using controlled techniques that meet UK hazardous waste standards. Once separated, the remaining materials, including aluminium and glass, are transferred into authorised recycling channels.

We handle a broad range of lighting waste types:

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

Our Tavistock town centre office needed a full fluorescent tube clearance during a phased renovation, and Yes Waste managed the entire project with care and efficiency. Their team worked seamlessly around contractors, kept disruption to a minimum and ensured every lamp was handled correctly. The documentation they provided matched our compliance needs perfectly. Their fluorescent tube disposal service proved invaluable during the upgrade.
