Our fluorescent tube collections in Colchester are usually arranged within one to two working days, subject to availability. If you have a specific date in mind, we’ll schedule the collection to fit your preferred timescale.

Fluorescent tubes are classed as hazardous because they contain mercury and phosphor powder. These substances can be harmful to the environment if not handled properly, which is why all tubes must be collected and recycled by licensed waste carriers such as ourselves.

Where possible, store fluorescent tubes in their original packaging or in a safe area where they won’t break. If they’re not boxed, our team can still collect them safely using the correct handling equipment.

We can supply lamp coffins and durable storage containers for Colchester businesses that handle fluorescent tube waste on a regular basis. These containers keep tubes safe on-site and make scheduled collections simpler to manage.

Once they’ve been collected, your fluorescent tubes are taken to licensed recycling facilities where mercury and phosphor are safely extracted. The remaining materials, such as glass and metal, are separated and recycled for reuse.

After your fluorescent tube collection, you’ll receive a Hazardous Waste Consignment Note. You can use this document to show that your lighting waste was processed in line with UK environmental legislation.
