Fluorescent Lamp Recycling

Air Cycle offers the Bulb Eater fluorescent bulb crushing system to meet disposal needs. The OSHA- and EPA-compliant units are designed to make disposal and recycling processes more efficient, improving bulb storage, handling and safety/liability issues. The fully contained Bulb Eater system crushes spent bulbs in seconds, compacting them into specially designed 55-gallon containers. It uses a two-stage filtration process that captures 99.99 percent of released mercury vapor and particulate matter. The HEPA filter captures of particulate matter and a carbon filter neutralizes the mercury vapor by transforming it into non-hazardous mercury sulfide.

The product comes in two models; the Vapor Removal System 55 capable of processing straight bulbs of any length and dimension and the VRS-U 55 model, which is capable of processing both straight and u-shaped bulbs. Air Cycle will arrange for pickup and transportation of full storage containers for recycling at contracted facilities.
