How Our Fluorescent Tube Disposal Service In North Shields Works

Our team will begin your fluorescent lamp clearance by removing all of the lighting waste we need to from your premises. We’ll then head to a licensed recycling facility, where all mercury and phosphor materials are carefully extracted so we can separate all glass and aluminium components for recycling.

We collect and recycle the following types of lighting waste:

✔️ 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

We worked with Yes Waste during a factory refurbishment and were impressed by how organised and professional the team was. All fluorescent tubes were collected safely, and full compliance paperwork was provided after completion.
