LAMP DISPOSAL UV-C Lamps User Manual
As with a fluorescent light bulb, your UV lamp contains mercury and must be disposed of properly. Therefore do not throw old lamps into the trash. Many communities have agencies that take in mercury along with other materials – such as old paints, solvents, etc. – that require special disposal. Please contact your municipal or county waste collection agency for proper disposal procedures. If a lamp is broken, do not use a vacuum cleaner to pick up the waste. Instead, sweep up the waste into a plastic bag and seal. Contact your municipal or county waste collection agency for proper disposal procedures.
