Fluorescent Lamps
Table of contents
More than 90% of all fluorescent lamps are used in commercial office buildings. Fluorescent lamps provide great energy savings in this type of setting. However, the majority of commercial properties are not recycling their lamps. These properties risk liabilities and are likely to be out of compliance with DEQ’s hazardous waste regulations.
Several significant commercial property managers in Virginia have committed to recycle their lamps. Trammell-Crow Company, Transwestern Commercial Services and EMCOR Facilities Services manage millions of square feet of office space and have publicly committed to recycle their lamps (click here for the fact sheet on Commercial Property Managers Project - MS Word format).
