K-Light Recycling can process a wide range of fluorescent tubes and HID lamps. Lamps are crushed utilizing a self-contained crushing unit with an advanced filtration system specifically designed for trapping mercury and phosphor powder.
Mercury and phosphor powder that are collected in a HEPA (High Efficiency Particle Air) filter is safely sent to a retort facility for recovery.
We Recycle Everything:
All glass is recycled into reflective glass beads for hightways or back into road base. Metal gets remelted and reused. Phosphor powder containing mercury and mercury containing ampoules get sent to a retort facility for mercury to be reclaimed and used in manufacturing of new bulbs, mercury switches, etc. Cardboard is recycled at a local recycler. |
