Disposal of Non-PCB Ballast and Electronic Ballasts
After 1980, non-PCB alternative such as di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, commonly referred to as DEHP, became the standard for use as the dielectric fluid use in fluorescent tubes and other ballast type lamps. While DHEP low lethal toxicity, studies have shown that it can affect certain organs in low concentration. DEHP is a known hazardous substance; therefore disposing of non-PCB/DEHP lighting ballasts in landfills does potentially expose you to superfund liability.
This is why it is important to properly dispose and recycle these ballasts.
Junk Pros plays a vital role of keeping our environment free of the unnecessary contaminants associated with spent lighting ballasts. We provide PCB, non-PCB, and electronic ballast recycling solutions to DFW & surrounding cities.
Packing, Shipping, and Storing Your Bulbs
Whenever possible, best practice to prepare bulbs for shipping is to package spent bulbs in the boxes that your replacement bulbs were packed. Junk Pros can deliver packaging material to customers in advance of shipment. We offer a complete selection of fiberboard drums, cardboard boxes, steel/poly drums, buckets, and labels. All pallet load quantities should be packaged, stacked and wrapped.
