Fluorescent Tube Recycling Program
We recycle fluorescent tubes and fluorescent ballasts. Our BulbEater is a machine which inhales tubes, crushes the glass and vacuums the phosphor, mercury and other gas through a 3 stage filtration process. The glass and endcaps are washed and ground and reused. The filter are incinerated and the world is a little cleaner and safer.
