Why Recycle?

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) classifies lamps containing mercury as universal waste, making lamp recycling mandatory in all 50 states.

A company can be fined up to $25,000 per occurrence for throwing lamps in the trash.

Mercury attacks the central nervous system, causes brain damage, and respiratory defects. It also hurts the ability of children to learn, remember and pay attention. More than 1 in 10 pregnant women are exposed to harmful levels of mercury

The EPA requires companies and organizations to properly dispose of PCB waste.

PCB Ballasts can cause gastric disorders, skin lesions and liver cancer.

The remaining parts of the ballast (mainly copper and steel) are sent for reuse in manufacturing which conserves our natural resources.

The Battery Act helps prevent batteries from being disposed of in landfills and allows the EPA to fine businesses up to $10,000 for violating the law.

Americans Purchase nearly 3 billion dry-cell batteries every year to power radios, toys, cellular phones, watches, laptop computers, and portable power tools.

At landfills, hazardous material found in batteries can leach into our groundwater and is harmful to humans and the environment.

Let's make a difference! Recycle with us today!
