•The mercury in one fluorescent lamp can
contaminate 7000 gallons of drinking water.
•550 million lamps are taken “out of service”
yearly
•And only 24% are recycled
(RCRA of 1976) and EPA clearly states that
spent Fluorescent and High Intensity
Discharge (HID) Lamps are hazardous waste,
and it is illegal to dispose them as a solid
waste in the dumpster or compactor. Under
the US-EPA regulations, fines can be up to
$25,000.00 per occurence.

Starbeam Lighting Solutions
is proud
to announce a recycling program for fluorescent lamps,
HID lamps, and ballasts that is “SIMPLE” to manage. We
take care of all of it for you. We pick up your full cases
of spent/used fluorescent lamps and ballasts when we
deliver your order. It’s that SIMPLE. We take care of each
shipment from “cradle to grave” or “pickup to recycle”.
You will receive, at time of pickup, documentation that
we have picked up the lamps and when we invoice you
we will provide proof that the lamps are being recycled.
That ends your liability. It’s that SIMPLE.
The program again, have a full case, or two or three,
of fluorescent lamps to recycle. Simply call us with the
amount and types of lamps to be picked up. We do
the rest.
We also provide fluorescent lamp boxes at no charge to
you. Tell us how many you need to get started. It’s that
SIMPLE.

Fluorescent and High Intensity
Discharge (HID) Lamps
All HID (High Intensity Discharge), fluorescent lamps,
including compact fluorescent lamps, contain Mercury,
a poison that cannot be destroyed. Simply call
Starbeam to have your used lamps picked up. If we are
delivering new lamps we waive the pickup charge for
the used lamps and you will only be invoiced for the
recycling fee. At the time of pickup you will receive a
packing ticket. When you receive your invoice you will
receive a “Recycling Bill of Lading” that releases you
from all liability.
Fluorescent and High Intensity
Discharge (HID) Ballasts
Some fluorescent and HID ballasts contain PCB’s which
are considered hazardous waste and therefore must be
recycled. Starbeam will pick up all of your “used”
ballasts at no charge when when we make a delivery
to your location. We will sort the ballasts at our facility
and bill you only for the“PCB” type ballasts “PCB” type
ballasts are a very small percentage of ballast returns
today due to the suspension of PCB manufactured
ballasts in the early 1980’s. You will be billed at a per
pound rate for the PCB type ballasts.
Please call us at Starbeam, or contact your personal
representative to discuss the pricing program on
lamps and ballasts.
