Bulb Recycling

Lighting Resources is the nation’s largest bulb recycler delivering bulb recycling solutions that are second to none for than 35 years.

Our facilities have been designed to accept intact and pre-crushed bulbs of all sizes and types. We manage most all aspects of the bulb recycling process in house by operating the very best bulb processing equipment, using mercury retort ovens to remove mercury from phosphorus powder, and even triple distillation equipment to recycle mercury back to virgin specification.

Because our personnel, facilities, and trucks are also permitted to manage mercury as a hazardous waste, we also accept crushed glass and phosphorus powder that may regulated as a hazardous waste.
