Using the most advanced process technology in the mercury recycling industry, Bethlehem Lamp Recycling can process a wide range of standard and compact fluorescent lamps and tubes. We have the ability to handle large volume requirements for corporations, government facilities, health care institutions and universities.
Our continuous feed high-temperature fluorescent lamp glass retorts are designed to capture 99.9% of the mercury in a lamp. Unlike crush and sieve operations that fail to recycle the mercury mixed in with the glass and the end caps.
