Safe disposal of spent fluorescent lamps.
Fluorescent tubes contain mercury and are classified as hazardous waste. They must be handled and disposed of in a prescribed manner by a specialist company, and it is illegal to dump them in the normal waste system.
Waste Worx supplies a suitable container for storing your spent lamps and collects them weekly, fortnightly or monthly. The lamps are processed to neutralise the hazardous content and then recycled, in line with South African laws and regulations.
