Fluorescent Lamp Recycling Kits:
An Affordable Solution for Smaller Businesses

Many florescent lamp recyclers are now providing lamp recycling “kits” as a cheaper alternative for smaller waste generators. The kits are generally purchased for a one time pre-paid fee and consist of a specially designed shipping box to safely hold waste bulbs, with the cost of shipping the full box, and the lamp recycling fee included in the price.

The idea behind the kits are to allow smaller businesses to safely ship their waste through the mail-- thus eliminating the need for a hauling service which generally demands large waste loads to become cost effective.

Prices range from $19.00 and up depending on the amount of lamps to be recycled

Below are a few examples of companies that provide lamp recycling kits:
