What we take

EPA says ballasts made before July 2, 1979 may contain PCBs. We keep pre-1979 and unlabeled ballasts apart from the rest of the load. Ballast recycling
By chemistry
EPA asks that lithium batteries be bagged one per bag or have their terminals taped. We collect them with your lamps. Battery recycling

Fortuna Foothills questions
What Fortuna Foothills facilities teams ask.
Can a business in Fortuna Foothills put fluorescent tubes in the trash?
Small and large quantity hazardous waste generators must manage spent lamps either as universal waste under 40 CFR Part 273 or as hazardous waste under Part 261. Send counts from your Fortuna Foothills site and we reply with a written quote.
Can lamps be crushed in Arizona?
Intentionally crushed lamps must be counted toward the generator's monthly hazardous waste total and managed as hazardous waste, not universal waste. Whole lamps are the simpler path: they ship as universal waste and keep their mercury inside until the recycler captures it.

We reply with a written quote based on your counts and ZIP code. Public contracts price lamps by the foot, by the lamp or by the pound, often with a minimum charge per pickup. Our pricing page explains each unit.
