Light Bulb Recycling

Clean Harbors Light Bulb Recycling Services processes straight tubes, U-tubes and circular lamps.  The process separates the metal, glass, and mercury containing phosphors and then segregates each component into separate containers.  The glass and metal are sent to approved local recyclers, and the mercury phosphors are sent for further refinement at a Clean Harbors approved retort facility.

Responsible Alternative to Landfill

Through Clean Harbors’ process, no materials are landfilled thereby offering a responsible alternative to stabilization and landfill.

In-house Capabilities for Final Disposal Reduces Liability

Our in-house processing capabilities provide final disposal of your bulbs.  All components of the bulb are either recycled or reused further limiting your liability.

Superior Technology

Our light bulb recycling unit is superior to other bulb crushing units, which typically only crush bulbs and commingle all components. Our unit recycles 100% of the components of your light bulbs, and it fully contains any possible fugitive emissions.
