Recycling separates the toxic substances, such as mercury, from the glass, aluminum and other lamp components. All materials may be reused in manufacturing other products. Lamps are separated into primary materials from which they are made: Glass, Aluminum, Mercury. All materials may be used in manufacturing other products.

What We Do?

EPS operates as a universal waste 'Destination Facility' for treatment of mercury-containing lamps.  Daily loads of lamps are received and crushed in a specially designed, enclosed machine.  This machine separates the toxic substances, such as mercury, from the glass, aluminum and other lamp components.  Lamps are then separated into primary materials from which they are made: Glass, Aluminum, Mercury. All materials may be used in manufacturing other products.
