On the facilities recycling side we handle almost every kind of electronic or electro-mechanical equipment.  Among the electronic recycling solutions we offer are lamp recycling and scrap wire and metal recycling.  We can recycle a large number of different kinds of devices including: Electronic Controllers, Electric Motors, Card Readers, Fans, Wire, Light Bulbs (Straight Lamps, High Intensity Lamps (MID, NA, MH), U-Bend/Circular and Compact Lamps, Incandescent Lamps, Flood Lamps, UV Lamps, Specialty Lamps (Projector Lamps), Broken Lamps and so on.

Lamp recycling is a particularly important part of facilities recycling for the environment, particularly florescent lamp recycling.  All florescent lamps contain mercury, an extremely hazardous substance that can contribute to neurological impairment and the EPA designates as a persistent bio-accumulative toxic substance, meaning that the more of it you are exposed to the more dangerous it is.  It can case birth defects, mental retardation, and an increased risk of heart attacks.  Proper recycling is necessary to keep the mercury from being released into the environment.  Companies can be put at risk for financial penalties, criminal and long term liability if they don’t properly dispose of mercury products.

The increasing popularity of the CFL light bulbs which use much less energy than standard incandescents has also meant more mercury containing light bulbs on the market.  CFLs are great for energy reasons, but need to be properly disposed of.  Just one-half a teaspoon of mercury can contaminate an entire lake, making the fish inedible.

Almost every part of a fluorescent lamp can be recycled, including the mercury, glass, and metal caps.  This is true for most other kinds of light bulbs as well, including normal incandescent light bulbs and more specialized light-bulbs, like flood lamps or UV lamps.  Even broken lamps can be recycled and made less hazardous to the environment.

Another important service we offer is scrap wire and cable recycling.  Electric wire is basically metal such as copper, aluminum or silver wrapped in plastic insulation.  Both the metal and the plastic can be recycled.  Every year, millions of feet of scrap wire are thrown into landfills every year by contractors and auto recyclers because it’s time-consuming to recycle it.  But the metal and even the plastic are valuable and throwing it out is wasteful.
