 Does your facility have fluorescent lights? Because they contain mercury, spent fluorescent lamps increasingly cannot be trashed in dumpsters as a solid waste. This is a major challenge for facilities across the country since nearly every facility uses them and more than 650 million lamps are disposed each year.
Many companies have found proper lamp disposal to be both labor and cost intensive, but have endured the burden in an effort to remain compliant. These hurdles have caused the marketplace to develop new methodologies. As a result, fluorescent lamp disposal is far easier and less costly than ever before. Air Cycle offers innovative lamp recycling solutions that can help your company stay compliant and keep the environment clean, all while saving you money and time in the process.

Air Cycle Corporation, a firm that has pioneered unique pre-paid services, such as the EasyPak ™ Recycling Program and the Bulb Eater® for large firms that prefer crushing and recycling fluorescent lamps on site, announced today that it has been chosen by more than 500 Marriott - branded hotels to provide an environmentally safe process for disposing of fluorescent lamps.
"We believe that Air Cycle offers our hotels and easier and more eco-friendly option to dispose of fluorescent bulbs," says Paul Hildreth, project director of engineering, Marriott International, Inc. "It's a great solution for hotels in states where regulations are continuously evolving to meet environmental demands."
Several Marriott hotels are equipped with the OSHA and EPA-compliant Bulb Eater®. The device crushes over 1,000 fluorescent lamps (amount depends on size of lamps) and packs them into a 55-gallon drum. The process is fully enclosed and filtered, so that the glass, aluminum, and harmful mercury vapors are contained. When full, the drums are picked up and transported to an EPA-approved lamp recycling facility - all arranged by Air Cycle.
