Fluorescent Tubes Disposal

Your fluorescent tube waste contains materials that are harmful to the environment and human health, which is why a reliable service from Wayst is the most ideal solution to a proper and sustainable fluorescent tubes disposal service that has a positive impact on the environment.

Fluorescent tubes are common lighting options found in commercial properties throughout the country, and a strong need is generated throughout the construction industry for various new builds and modern renovations as a result. Fluorescent tubes contain materials that are harmful to the environment, human health, and local wildlife, including low-pressure mercury vapour, xenon, argon, neon, or krypton. These materials are classified as hazardous and can dissipate into the atmosphere and environment, contaminating wildlife and water supplies, if thrown into a landfill site, incinerator, or bin.

We believe in a circular and regenerative economy, one that can be created in delivering sustainable disposal solutions to all kinds of waste - especially when handling harmful and hazardous materials like your fluorescent tube waste.

Fluorescent tubes are classified as hazardous waste, each one typically contains roughly 94% glass, 4% non-ferrous and ferrous metals, and 2% phosphor - the last of which is where mercury can be found. Mercury can be an incredibly toxic material to the environment and the human body, and Wayst provides reliable and responsible disposal solutions of your fluorescent tubes separately to all other waste in order to mitigate this risk and deliver outcomes that give you the peace of mind in covering all of your bases whilst having a positive impact on the environment in the process.
