How CRN Environmental can help you

We offer a fully flexible, responsive and competitively priced waste removal service for all types of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) in accordance with the current WEEE legislation.  

This can include, but is not limited to, the safe disposal of:

All forms of electronic equipment (computer monitors, video recorders, keyboards etc.)

All sizes and types of fluorescent tubes and lamps in accordance with the current legislation.

You can be assured that collection and disposal of all forms of WEEE will be undertaken in full accordance with the current WEEE legislation and all processes will be fully auditable.

Why Recycle?

The forthcoming WEEE directive is aimed at encouraging reuse and recycling and minimising the negative environmental aspects of disposal. Putting electronic waste and fluorescent tubes into landfill will no longer be an option under the 'Special Waste Regulations' and the WEEE directive.

Currently about 60 million tubes per year are sent to landfill.

Recycling has a number of benefits: -

Minimises health and safety risks to staff

Improves site housekeeping

Removes mercury from landfill

Demonstrates best environmental practice

Recovers materials which would otherwise be lost

Material Collection and Handling

Collections can be arranged either via our website or by telephone.   Mutually convenient collection dates will be agreed     at commencement of our agreement.

All relevant paperwork will be supplied. (consignment note)

Suitable containers for storage and transport are provided free of charge.

Fluorescent tube recycling

Tubes and lamps are safely broken into steel 205 litre drums using the patented TubeEater. This is fitted with a vacuum pump, which draws air through a 3-stage filter to capture dust particles and neutralise the potentially harmful mercury vapour. The drums full of broken lamps are then processed through a state of the art lamp recycling plant that further crushes, cleans and separates the different material fractions under vacuum. The output is clean glass, aluminium end caps, steel clips and mercury contaminated powder. Under separate contract the mercury is then distilled out of the powder to produce high purity metallic mercury and inert mineral rich clay. Finally the glass, aluminium, steel, mercury and powder are all recycled back to new products.

This process achieves an overall recycling rate of circa 97%, as the only wasted materials are small amounts of glue, plastic and the small electrodes in the end caps.

General WEEE recycling

All WEEE equipment is disposed of safely by licenced operatives in accordance with current legislation.
