EACR Inc. provides licensed lamp and bulb recycling solutions for businesses, institutions, and municipalities. We help you dispose of fluorescent, HID, and LED lamps responsibly—while staying compliant with all local and federal laws.
Lamps and bulbs often contain toxic elements like mercury, and other heavy metals that can pose serious environmental and health risks if disposed of improperly. When these materials end up in landfills or are incinerated, they can contaminate air, water, and soil. Recycling lamps the right way not only prevents pollution—it helps recover reusable materials like glass and metals while reducing demand for virgin resources.
Because of these hazards, many lighting products are regulated under the EPA’s Universal Waste Rule, making responsible disposal a legal obligation for many organizations.
Common in offices and industrial buildings, these long tubes contain mercury and require proper recycling to prevent toxic exposure.
Often found in homes and small fixtures, CFLs contain small amounts of mercury and should never be thrown in the trash.
Although mercury-free, LEDs contain metals and circuitry that can be recycled. We handle LEB bulbs responsibly and safely with out electronics recycling.
Used in streetlights, warehouses, and gymnasiums, HID lamps contain mercury and other heavy metals that must be safely recycled.
Lamp recycling is essential for a wide range of organizations that regularly manage large volumes of lighting waste. Office buildings, corporate campuses, and government agencies often upgrade lighting systems and require compliant disposal. Schools, universities, and hospitals must safely handle mercury-containing bulbs to protect staff and students. Warehouses, industrial sites, and property managers benefit from bulk recycling solutions during renovations or retrofits, while electrical contractors rely on proper lamp disposal during decommissioning and lighting upgrades.
At EACR Inc., we follow a fully licensed recycling process that complies with all applicable regulations. Mercury and other hazardous materials found in lamps are carefully recycled to prevent environmental harm. Our zero-landfill policy ensures recyclable components like metals are recycled
and repurposed whenever possible.
Whether you’re managing a facility retrofit, overseeing campus waste, or running ongoing building operations, we make lamp recycling convenient. We offer mail-back kits for small-volume needs, bulk pickup for large-scale projects, and commercial drop-off sites throughout the East Coast. With custom scheduling and fast response times, EACR Inc. makes it easy to stay compliant and eco-conscious without interrupting your workflow.
