UV Lamp Recycling Policy:

Recycling Made Easy

Federal regulations require commercial and industrial entities to manage mercury-containing light bulbs / lamps as a hazardous waste after they burn out. Even though households are exempt from these federal regulations some states and counties may have more stringent requirements regarding used lamps than the federal regulations.

To help its customers and to keep the planet clean American Air & Water, Inc. offers the following lamp recycling options:

  1. Commercial entities – facilities, distributors, contractors:
    1. Purchase a pre-labeled 4' Standard EasyPak™ Lamp Recycling Box* and collect and store the old lamps in the box (30 – 60 lamps depending on lamp diameter and length) per federal regulations. One low price $59.95 covers the container, shipping to the recycling center, the recycling fees and the Certificates of Recycling which will be issued in your name.
    2. Collect, securely pack and ship the used lamps to American Air & Water, Inc. American Air & Water, Inc. will make arrangements for the lamps to be sent to a lamp recycling center. A fee of $1 per lamp will be charged to the sender's account.

  2. Households are encouraged to securely pack and ship the used UV lamps to American Air & Water, Inc. No fee will apply for lamps purchased from American Air & Water, Inc. or if the used lamp is replaced with a new lamp from American Air & Water, Inc. For all other lamps a fee of $1 may apply.
