Wow, had all these fluorescent tubes left over from converting the house to LED bulbs. The high mercury content is not good for landfill disposal. Ordered a Standard box, and when it arrived, I was able to safely dispose of all my tubes. Simple and easy to use, and helps the environment. Great customer service. Andrew really helped me a great deal.

Ohio Regulations
Learn more about universal waste regulations in the state of Ohio at the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency Website.
In Ohio, universal waste regulations are designed to facilitate the proper management and recycling of specific hazardous waste streams by simplifying certain regulatory requirements. The universal waste rules aim to promote recycling and ensure safe disposal practices. Universal wastes are specific hazardous waste streams that a generator can choose to manage in an alternative manner in place of the more complex hazardous waste requirements. These wastes typically are generated by numerous businesses and in the home.
Ohio has expanded the federal list of universal wastes to include additional categories specific to the state. These Ohio-specific universal wastes include antifreeze and paint and paint-related wastes. The inclusion of these categories aims to encourage proper disposal and recycling practices within the state.
Handlers of universal waste in Ohio are subject to specific requirements based on their classification as either small quantity handlers (accumulating less than 5,000 kilograms) or large quantity handlers (accumulating 5,000 kilograms or more). These requirements encompass proper labeling, storage, employee training, and adherence to accumulation time limits.
For comprehensive information on Ohio's universal waste regulations, including detailed guidance documents and compliance assistance resources, individuals and businesses can visit the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency's official website. This resource provides access to pertinent rules, regulatory updates, and support materials to ensure adherence to state-specific universal waste management practices.
Why is Recycling Fluorescent & LED Bulbs Important?
Recycling fluorescent and LED bulbs properly is vital for several key reasons:
Fluorescent bulbs, including compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), contain mercury, a toxic substance that can contaminate soil and water if disposed of improperly. Recycling these bulbs prevents mercury from ending up in landfills and leaching into the environment.
LED bulbs, while not as hazardous as fluorescent bulbs, still contain electronic components that need to be handled responsibly. Recycling both fluorescent and LED bulbs ensures that toxic materials are properly separated and do not contribute to hazardous waste buildup.
Fluorescent and LED bulbs contain valuable materials like glass, metals, and phosphor coatings that can be reused in the production of new bulbs or other products. Recycling helps conserve natural resources by reducing the need for virgin materials.
Many states have strict laws about the disposal of universal waste, including fluorescent and LED bulbs. Under hazardous waste regulations, these items must not be thrown away with regular trash. Recycling helps businesses comply with the law and avoid fines.
