The Lamp Recycling Company Limited was born in September 2000.  Prior to this our sister company, Hazchem Waste used to crush the lamps and pay to have the bulk land-filled.  Our thoughts turned to finding an alternative to this…recycling.  

To comply with current legislation, lamps have to be collected from your premises with the accompaniment of a Consignment Note for Hazardous Waste. On receipt at our Licensed Waste Transfer Station we record the collection on The Environment Agency Returns Data Base.

The Lamp Recycling Company Ltd must provide a report to the Environment Agency every quarter recording all consignments of hazardous waste received by us. We must supply these to the EA within one month of the end of each quarter. A full audit trail can be provided for the recycling of your lamps.

Consignee Quarterly Returns

At the end of each quarter you will receive a copy of your Producer Returns; both the Consignment Note and the Returns should be filed together. Should your company be audited, this would be a satisfactory conclusion to that collection.

W.E.E.E. Directive

Computers and IT Equipment

The introduction of the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive that came into force in July 2007 requires all businesses to recycle redundant IT equipment, computer monitors, televisions and fridges.

Currently the equipment collected is shredded. The various components are separated and sent for recycling.

Fridges

The WEEE Directive and the Hazardous Waste Regulations cover refrigeration units as well. The equipment is dismantled and recycled at the processing plant.

Batteries

We can collect and recycle batteries. These are also classified as hazardous waste. Sample of types collected for recycling are; Alkaline, Mercury, Lithium-Ion, Lead Acid, Nicad, NiMH. Primary Lithium Batteries cannot be recycled. These are usually sent for incineration.

We can provide suitable storage containers for your needs.
