There are several methods that you can use to dispose of fluorescent light bulbs. One method, is to package all of you are spent fluorescent light bulbs into cardboard boxes and have them shipped to recycling facilities where they are crushed and recycled. This option of course is viable for anyone who has only a few spent bulbs which they are looking to dispose of. However, if you have a facility which has hundreds if not thousands of light bulbs which need to be replaced on a fairly frequent basis this option will be very expensive.

The alternative is to bring the recycling facility to you. To do this you can use a portable fluorescent light bulb crusher. These machines mount on top of steel drums and crush spent lamps into tiny pieces in addition to filtering out the harmful mercury vapors which are contained in each and every bulb. Using this piece of equipment you can save a tremendous amount of money which would otherwise have to be used on packaging and shipping the spent lamps.

The crushers are extremely user friendly and can be operated by anyone with only a few minutes of training. To operate the machine, you simply feed and spent lamps one by one in the machine will suck them into the crushing chamber and filter out the harmful mercury. The light bulb crusher can even crush U-shaped bulbs with a special adapter that mounts on top of the system.
