Q. How do I handle used lamps?
A. Store unbroken “spent” lamps in a box or
fiber drum to prevent breakage. Keep the
container in a secure, protected area. Label the
container “Universal Waste - Spent Fluorescent
Lamps” and mark it with the date on which you
first began storing them. Have these lamps collected by - or
deliver them to - Electronix ReDux Corp. within one year of
the date marked on the container.
Q. What happens if I throw my lamps and ballasts in the
trash?
A. You may be subject to enforcement by the Massachusetts
Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) and/or
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Enforcement may
include a fine of as much as $25,000 per violation per day.
Q. Why should I be concerned about mercury?
A. Mercury is toxic to the human nervous system. Chronic
breathing of mercury vapors can cause a range of physical
symptoms, including inability to coordinate body movement
and impairment of hearing, speech and vision. Exposure to
mercury in other forms can lead to skin rashes and kidney
damage.
