 Auditing your Lamp Recycling Supplier If you consider a company who claim they CAN recover the mercury, they are infact telling you that they don't always recover the mercury. So if you choose to deal with such a company how can you be sure what happens to YOUR lamps? If your service provider do not have a distiller in-house and cannot prove that all of their waste is fully distilled then you have absolutely no way of knowing whether YOUR waste is fully recycled or just a small part of your providers lamp waste so that they can claim that they send some waste to a third party distiller. It is your responsibility what happens to your waste – make sure you use a company who distil all of their phosphor and don't use anyone who cannot prove that they send approximately 1 tonne of phosphor for every 35,000 lamps that they collect and can prove this with Section 62 special waste transfer documents and auditable third party invoices where they have paid around £700 per tonne for the service. Why waste the time or run the risk, just call Lampcare and rest assured that nothing goes to landfill. Many companies quickly offer the name of a third party that CAN distil mercury. We suggest that before buying the story, you ought to speak to the third party distiller and request a confirmation in writing on the exact amount of phosphor that they have distilled for this company for a 12-month period. Then you ought to compare this with the annual returns your service provider has in recovered lamps as declared to their environment agency. Or instead of all the checking and auditing why not join the most complete recycling company in the UK and be certain of what is happening to your waste at all times?     |
