More businesses can now recycle their lamps for free.

UK waste electrical and electronic equipment firm Recolight will offer this free of charge service to those which collect 1,000 or more lamps every three months.

The firm has reduced the previous threshold companies needed to meet to get free of charge lamp recycling. It was 2,000 lamps.

The Recolight free service includes the provision of containers, collection and recycling.

Nigel Harvey, Recolight’s Chief Executive said: “Expanding access to waste lamp recycling is very important to us. By lowering the threshold and allowing more businesses to become collection points, we hope that as many lamps as possible will be recycled.”
