While there is no direct risk to the end user, mercury is a key element in energy-efficient lighting. Health and environmental risks, however, are associated with its use and disposal. Consequently, 2trg utilizes proper light bulb recycling processes to dispose of these lamps in a responsible manner by partnering with an EPA certified company for light bulb disposal. This facility has been inspected by 2trg, and comprehensive, rigorous standards must be maintained to be a 2trg recycling partner.
