Cost Effective Lamp Recycling
National Waste Associates offers a variety of cost-effective solutions for recycling light bulbs and electronic waste for retailers, restaurants, other multi location companies, and large producers. Our bulk recycling programs are designed for larger quantities of waste such as pallets or truckloads shipped on a regular or project basis, such as re-lamping or retrofitting buildings. For smaller quantities of waste, our unique box system (Recyclepak) is an all inclusive, prepaid ship-back box designed for fluorescent lamps, fluorescent light bulbs, ballast, batteries and mercury waste. Our small quantity programs were designed by environmental health and safety experts and offer an efficient means for small to medium sized companies to comply with disposal regulations.
We provide our customers with a variety of packaging including boxes for all sizes of lamps, cubic yard boxes, 55 gal drums, poly pails and even drop trailers to store your waste materials. Depending upon your needs, we can ship the materials directly to your locations or deliver supplies to your project site. We offer our customers safe packaging and guidelines to ensure your materials are packaged for safe and compliant shipment to the recycling facilities. From less-than-truckloads (LTL) to full trailers, we help customers cost-effectively move materials from the source of generation to processing.
National Waste Associates manages a full range of waste services. Our electronics recycling division handles a variety of materials generated from just about every market sector. If you have a different waste stream, give us a call, we can help you recycle it.

We take environmental compliance very serious and pro-actively work to improve our processes ensuring our promise of managing your waste in an environmentally-compliant manner. Our recycling solutions are designed to be simple to use while minimizing your risk by keeping you compliant to the ever changing localized recycling laws.
Managing waste in a non-compliant manner can affect you not only financially, but also from a public-relations standpoint. As a generator of toxic and hazardous materials, you are financially responsible for the proper management, recycling and disposal of your waste and for cleaning up the effects of improper disposal. Improper disposal can often lead to negative publicity. For this reason it is important that when choosing a management company your evaluation should include an assessment of their risk
management offering and compliance systems.
There are major federal rules and regulations governing the disposal and handling of toxic and hazardous materials found in today’s lighting and electronic waste, such as:
Low mercury, or “green tip”, lamps still contain small amounts of mercury. Recycling all mercury lamps is recommended. Under Superfund, there is no small quantity exemption from liability for future site clean up if mercury contamination is found at a disposal facility.
NWA offers customers written service agreements that contain strong indemnification provisions and “A” rated pollution insurance that help protect you from financial costs resulting from potential mismanagement of your waste.
