ADP Celebrates Earth Day with the Bulb Eater®

Thursday, June 16, 2011

The Elk Grove Village, Illinois facility of business product and service provider ADP celebrated Earth Day 2011 with an event showcasing the facility's greening efforts, including fluorescent lamp recycling. The event featured the facility's Air Cycle Corporation Bulb Eater® lamp crushing system and included a demonstration of the machine's bulb-crunching abilities.

The Bulb Eater can crush a 4-foot fluorescent lamp in 1 second, while trapping 99.99% of mercury vapor emissions, making it easy to recycle spent lamps and keep the environment and workplace safe from the hazards of mercury.

The Bulb Eater also can reduce overall lamp recycling costs by up to 50%. Click here to request pricing or learn more.

Focus on Large Scale Lamp Recycling

Friday, June 10, 2011

At Air Cycle, we believe that for every size facility, there is an efficient method of recycling its fluorescent lamps. While prepaid mail-back EasyPak™ lamp recycling containers offer the flexible and simple small-quantity recycling that small facilities often require, Air Cycle's Bulb Eater® lamp crushing system and Bulk Pickups can deliver cost-savings of up to 50% on overall recycling costs for managers of facilities greater than 150,000 square feet.

This article from Today's Facility Manager explains just how lamp crushing and bulk pickups reduce facility lamp recycling costs, and how to implement a large-scale recycling program.


Crushing lamps with Air Cycle's Bulb Eater® system can minimize lamp storage space by up to 80% and reduce labor by up to 20 hours per 1000 lamps versus boxing lamps for pickup. Request a quote. An Air Cycle Bulk Pickup can lower recycling costs with no upfront investment where crushing is not allowed, and provides the flexibility of shipping lamps on an as-needed basis. Learn more.
