| Description | Ecology recommends that facilities recycle fluorescent lamps intact as universal waste. Managing lamps as universal waste has many advantages over managing them as dangerous waste. For example, universal waste lamps can be stored up to a year and don’t count toward a facility’s generator status or dangerous waste generation totals. However, some facilities with large quantities of spent fluorescent lamps choose to use fluorescent lamp crushing equipment as a waste management tool. This focus sheet describes how dangerous waste regulations apply to facilities that crush spent fluorescent lamps. | ||||||
