Florida Rules Regarding Light Recycling

Some states, including Florida, introduced regulations more stringent than federal regulations. The EPA defines mercury as a hazardous dissipate; the mercury within lamps is normally a bitty magnitude, measured in milligrams.

Disposal

The community of Florida requires lamps to be recycled, as it restricts the landfilling of mercury-containing lamps and does not grant incineration of such products.



Energy-efficient cloudless bulbs or lamps are manufactured as flourescent or high-intensity discharge lamps, which involve mercury. The disposal of mercury is regulated at both federal and administration levels.

Hazard

The Environmental Safeguard Agency introduced regulations concerning the disposal of mercury-containing lamps.



On a statewide equivalent, counties, cities and academy boards can annex lamps containing mercury recycled under a sovereign state Business agreement.


Business


Inconsiderable businesses generating a meager number of lamps are exempt from business regulations regarding recycling under EPA regulations. Florida's exemption rules are more stringent than federal regulations, requiring a business to generate fewer than 10 lamps for recycling to be classed as a conditionally exempt small generator.
