The expansion increase the company’s capabilities in terms of volume, scope of service and geographical coverage. The company is a specialist in recycling discharge lamps and tubes and operates one of the few facilities that can recover and recycle all components of these lamps, mercury included. Mercury also recycles batteries. A key part of the service is collecting waste from customers’ properties and transporting it in compliance with relevant legislation.
