flourscent lamps

[Jeff Rae]

are the green end tubes still considered haz. mat. and if so is there an E.P.A reg. THANKS

It often depends on how many lamps are involved at one time. 1 broken lamp no problem, a broken case is usually a concern.

In our area it seems each waste facilty has their own acceptance limits.

On the GE web page they say that there Ecolux low mercury products pass TCLP test and can be disposed of without hazardous fees

In my state, if I dispose of a certain amount of genuine hazardous material in a year's time, I'm automatically classified as a hazardous waste generator. Once that classification is made, when I need to dispose of a normally non-hazardous quantity of hazardous material (such as low mercury lamps), I must do so as if they were hazardous quantities.
