On-site lamp crushing & collection recycling serivce. Managing Your Waste Lamps. Not only are lamps required to be recycled under the WEEE Directive, but they also contain the hazardous element mercury, meaning they can’t just be thrown out or mixed with other waste streams. Whilst the levels of mercury continue to drop and will start being banned in lamps from February 2024, there will still be many more years where lamps containing mercury will come through the waste and recycling stream. For this reason it is vital that lamps are handled and stored correctly.
