Because of these elements, all fluorescent tubes must therefore be handled and recycled by a licensed waste carrier to meet legal safety standards.

All collections are completed following:

How Our Fluorescent Tube Disposal Service In Macclesfield Works

When it’s time to carry out your fluorescent tube collection, we’ll visit your site and safely collect all of your lighting waste. We then make sure it’s all transported to a licensed recycling facility, where all of the mercury and phosphor are carefully extracted under controlled conditions.

✔️ T5, T8, and T12 fluorescent tubes
✔️ Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs)
✔️ UV and germicidal tubes
