Flourescent tubes are widely used in New Zealand lighting and are also one of the most difficult items to dispose of in a safe and environmentally sound way.
InterWaste is the only company in New Zealand offering a zero-to-landfill 100% recycling service for all forms of mercury lamps. Fluorescent lamps contain mercury, a highly toxic waste, which, if disposed of irresponsibly can pollute waterways and damage the environment.
InterWaste provides an easy and effective service of fluorescent lamp disposal in order to ensure compliance with New Zealand regulations.
The disposal of mercury in New Zealand is tightly regulated. Mercury containing lamps are considered a hazardous waste when the concentration of mercury exceeds 0.2mg/l. Most lamps (weighing between 200-300g) contain between 0.3 – 20mgs of mercury. Therefore, New Zealand regulation ensures that lamps sent to landfill are minimised.
Interwaste provide their customers with cost effective specialty bins to safely store fluorescent tubes in order to minimise risk of mercury exposure and provide a pick up service to safely recycle of the flourescent tubes to environmental standards.
