Fluorescent Tube Recycling in Melbourne

Potential hazards

Most fluorescent tubes contain mercury, a toxic material which is environmentally hazardous if disposed of incorrectly. Generally, the higher the power usage, the more mercury is required to operate the lamp, and in many places, dumping fluorescent tubes is outright forbidden.

The mercury, as well as the glass, phosphor and aluminium contained in the lamps, can be safely recovered and reused if sent to a well-equipped recycling facility.
