Recycling service for lamps
September 1st 2008 Mercury Recycling has
been appointed to collect
and recycle all fluorescent
tubes and sodium lamps
from John Lewis and
Waitrose branches
throughout the UK. The 36
John Lewis service
buildings and 20 'hub'
Waitrose branches covered
by the scheme are supplied
with containers for
collection and recycling by
Mercury operatives.
John Lewis Partnership
has an agreement with the
Recolight Compliance
Scheme, which finances the
separate collection and
treatment of waste.
Recolight is a Producer
Compliance scheme which
undertakes its Member's
obligations under the UK
WEEE regulations.
When lamps and tubes
are replaced they are stored
in Mercury's secure
containers. When a
container is full, it is
collected and an empty unit
left on site
Used lamps are taken to
Mercury's reprocessing
facility, where they are
treated to remove the
mercury and broken down
into their component parts
for further reuse/recycling More articles from Mercury Recycling Limited: |
