How Our Fluorescent Tube Disposal Service In Torquay Works

After your fluorescent lamp waste clearance has been confirmed, our operatives arrive on site to remove your lighting waste. All fluorescent tubes are then transported to a licensed recycling facility, where mercury and phosphor are extracted using controlled methods. Any remaining elements, including aluminium and glass, are recycled or reused.

We manage all major categories of commercial lighting waste:

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

Our Torquay town centre office required a full clearance of fluorescent tubes, and Yes Waste handled the work with careful planning from start to finish. Their team worked safely around live areas, removed each tube responsibly and ensured our compliance documentation was fully accounted for. The service ran smoothly with no disruption to our operations. Their fluorescent tube disposal support proved extremely efficient.

Mercury and phosphor inside fluorescent tubes classify them as hazardous materials under waste management law. These substances require licensed handling and must be processed through approved recycling facilities to prevent any environmental impact.

Ideally, all of your fluorescent tubes should be stored in their original lamp coffins or in a secure area where they cannot crack or become damaged. If neither option is possible, our operatives can still clear and remove your fluorescent tube waste safely, whatever condition they are in.

We can offer lamp coffins and secure storage containers for commercial clients generating frequent fluorescent lighting waste. These provide a compliant and safe method of storage between scheduled collections.

Once we’ve carried out your fluorescent tube waste clearance, all of what we collect will be transported to a licensed recycling facility, where mercury and phosphor are removed through regulated procedures. Any remaining materials such as aluminium and glass are then separated and forwarded into authorised recycling routes.

Every fluorescent lamp waste collection comes with a Hazardous Waste Consignment Note, which outlines how your lighting waste was handled and confirms compliance with UK environmental regulations.

Our team holds waste carrier registration CBDU117809, confirming we are legally authorised to transport and manage fluorescent tube waste. You can verify our licence here:
