Lamp
waste causes more mercury contamination of the environment
than any other consumer product. Many companies are
just discovering this fact and the urgent need to partner
with a lamp recycler to safely handle this mercury-bearing
waste. Also, when you are looking for a lamp recycler,
you want to ensure that the maximum amount of mercury
is being reclaimed to protect the environment and help
you avoid potential environmental liability risks.
Bethlehem's

to comply with government regulations and reduce their
environmental risks. It provides a simple, efficient
means for the recycling of spent fluorescent lamps.
