Veolia Environmental Services (Veolia) has reached an agreement with TCP, Inc. to promote recycling of mercury containing lamps. CFLs are seven times more energy efficient than incandescent lamps.

Parties desiring to recycle CFLs can order appropriate containers online. The price paid includes everything needed to recycle mercury bearing lamps. The user simply assembles the container, fills it, and ships it using the prepaid shipping label. One price is all a user pays. The disposed of fluorescent lamps will then be delivered to Veolia for recycling. Veolia will even send environmental compliance documentation to the generator.

“We’re proud to add TCP to a growing list of manufacturers working directly with Veolia that support recycling mercury containing lamps, sustainability and environmental responsibility,” noted Rob Wlezien, vice president, sales and marketing at Veolia ES Technical Solutions, L.L.C.

“We are very excited to partner with Veolia,” said Ellis Yan, President and CEO, TCP, Inc. “This recycling program allows consumers and businesses to feel confident that they have made the best possible lighting choice while helping the environment.”
