Transtar are specialists in Recycling Fluorescent Bulbs and Lamps in the United Kingdom.
There are in excess of 100 million fluorescent bulbs and lamps used in the United Kingdom each year which up until recently was adding over 3,000 tonnes of waste material into landfill sites.
Fluorescent Bulbs contain mercury, a highly poisonous metal that can leech into the water table and affect the quality of water beyond a safe standard for drinking. Did you know that the mercury from only one bulb can contaminate 30,000 litres of water?
Despite only containing a small amount of mercury, the sheer volume of bulbs disposed of can create unacceptable levels in landfill and so responsible recycling must be undertaken.
Transtar Recycling provides safe and effective recycling for a wide range of items, ensuring that you are compliant with all current legislation. We provide silages and safety tubes to store used fluorescent bulbs safely in advance of being collected and recycled by us.
