How Lights Are Recycled
• The light bulb coupler and the socket plug are manually clipped
• Three byproducts result and four categories of raw materials
• Each byproduct is independently shredded for separation, returning glass, HDPE plastics, and non-ferrous copper as
well as ferrous steel
• The prepared separated raw materials are then sent to licensed smelters for re-casting or re-molding, all in accordance
with local, state and federal statutes
