Did you know state law requires government entities to recycle fluorescent lamps?

IPRA has partnered with Fluorecycle, Inc. to offer IPRA member agencies discounted recycling of used fluorescent lamps. Fluorecycle, Inc. would offer park and recreation agencies unit & bulk pricing on their recycling of lamps that contain mercury.

Fluorecycle, Inc. is the only fluorescent/HID/mercury containing lamp company permitted by the IEPA to operate as a destination facility and the only company with a RCRA part B permit in Illinois.  That means that if a lamp is destroyed (the IEPA's word for the final status of the lamp or that the mercury has been removed) in Illinois, it has to go through Fluorecycle, Inc. Other companies can collect, handle, transport lamps in Illinois, but they have to send them to a destination facility outside of Illinois.  That usually means more paperwork in manifesting loads and higher transportation costs.

Fluorecycle can provide documentation that the lamps have been destroyed and the components recycled

Carry $3 million of liability pollution insurance

Track lamps from pick-up to disposal

99% recycled components back to industry

Only IEPA permitted lamp destination facility

Two methods of recycling your lamps: Bulk (large generator, most economical) or Mail Order (small generator, most convenient)

For more information, contact Andy Wendt at Fluorecycle, Inc. at email: sales@fluorecycle.com or 815-363-4411.
