Frequently Asked Questions About Our Fluorescent Tube Disposal Service
When our WEEE collection team have collected your fluorescent tubes, they will be sent to a dedicated recycling plant for processing. Tubes are deconstructed within a safe environment to ensure that any harmful elements, such as the Mercury, are contained. Once the hazardous materials are recovered, the tubes will then be separated into individual waste streams.
Fluorescent tubes are classified as hazardous waste due to the Mercury (a highly toxic metal that if not disposed of correctly can contaminate the water supply and wildlife) it contains and therefore, cannot be placed within a general waste or recycling bin.
