HOW TO SAFELY DISPOSE OF LIGHTING and BALLASTS in CANADA

Fluorescent lamps contain mercury, which is a highly toxic substance. Mercury is the most toxic pollutant, after radioactive substances, on the Environmental Protection Authority’s list of industrial pollutants. It is extremely harmful to humans and it’s essential that mercury does not enter the environment. Spent lighting products are the largest source of mercury contamination in municipal landfills.

Retrofitting your fluorescent fixtures with the new LED T8 Lamps create a waste of old fluorescent lamps that need to be recycled. This results in much mercury that is being dumped into landfills every year. Over time, mercury in disposed fluorescent tubes can be converted by the action of heat and bacteria into a very toxic and volatile form, known as methyl mercury, and this toxic gas can be spread by the wind. In a nutshell, collection and recycling of fluorescent tubes keeps everybody safe, improves our environment and reduces landfill.
