Bulb Eater heads for ROY HILL in Western Australia
The time has come to start moving all that fluoro lighting waste to the Bin – BUT NOT THE RUBBISH BIN!
Crush and contain your spent fluoro Tubes and CFLs – safely.
The Terracycle Bulb Eater 3L is made in Ohio, USA to world standards of emission control.
Now, the maintenance electricians at Roy Hill want one! Get in line …… this machine keeps Mercury out of the food chain
Every fluorescent tube or CFL contains mercury—typically 15mg in 4 foot tubes and 5 – 10 mg in Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs). This mercury must NOT go into landfill—it needs to be processed by specialist recyclers.

Eliminate storage hassles – Reduce your needed storage space for lamps by crushing up to 1350 T8 4’ lamps per 55-gallon drum. The Bulb Eater® lamp crusher crushes all length lamps.
Reduce handling – Handle your spent tubes & bulbs once. Simply operate the Bulb Eater® tube crushing machine on a 200 litre drum near the lighting up-grade area or into a storage area. Save roughly 20 hours of labour per 1000 lamps by crushing rather than boxing the lamps!
S
afer work environment – U.S EPA studies show an estimated 2-3% accidental breakage rate while boxing lamps prior to pickup. The 0.001% emission rate from the Bulb Eater® tube crushing system provides for much less mercury vapour emission.
Cut costs – By pre-crushing the lamps, facilities such as Ecocycle or Toxfree are able to save money on their tube handlling costs by having to run the tubes & CFLs through their machine. Go HERE to find a FluoroCycle approved collection company near you anywhere in Australia.
