Lamp Recycling & Your Business

The most important factor for businesses to know about lamp recycling is that it's the law. If not, they open themselves up for liability and can assess heavy fines from the EPA. Still many businesses are unaware of this and continue to dispose of lamps improperly. NLR has over 15 years in the industry and our knowledgeable staff can assist you in setting up a reliable and compliant lamp recycling program.Whether a customer is using our pre-paid national program for smaller amounts of waste or direct pick-up services for trailer loads, all lamps are recycled at our Connecticut facility. These services are never brokered out to a third party like some programs in the industry. This gives businesses piece of mind that their liabilities are being managed in accordance with all applicable federal and state lamp recycling regulations through one vendor.
