Program Recommendations
EasyPak Pre-Paid Recycling Containers
< 150K Square Feet
This program is typically used by smaller facilities or facilities where storage is limited. The program is simple, requires little paperwork, and is a practical option for facilities nationwide.
EasyPak containers have instructions, complete with illustrations, printed on them to make recycling as EASY as possible. One price includes everything you need, the container, shipping to the recycling center via FedEx Ground, recycling fees, and certificates of recycling.
Containers can be picked up the same day and shipped one at a time using very little storage space.
Bulb Eater® On-Site Lamp Crusher
> 150K Square Feet
The BulbEater not only crushes spent fluorescent lamps of any length into 100% recyclable material, but also captures over 99.99% of the vapors released.
The system, which is mounted to a 55-gallon container, can hold up to 1350 4' fluorescent lamps. This allows for relatively large quantities of lamps to be stored without using much storage space.
The "Nationwide Bulk Pick-Up" service is used once the drums are full and ready for pick-up.
Nationwide Bulk Pick-ups
> 150K Square Feet
Recycling services and transportation available throughout the continental United States to help Sonepar facilities properly recycle lamps, ballasts, batteries, and electronics. These wastes are palletized and shrink wrapped prior to pick-up.
Great for properties with large quantities of waste and enough available storage space for at least one pallet to be stored.
