Fluorescent bulbs contain mercury and a toxic gas once broken it can neurologically damage human beings and also'cause organ toxicity they are basically little bombs of toxic gas that when broken can spread up to 10 metres depending on the length and size of the bulb, and depending on the height it is hanging, they should be banned due to the fact they are extremely poisonous and toxic
Where is my bulb going
Collection and transport are very sensitive areas in collecting fluorescent bulbs as some could be broken and the risk of breaking new bulbs due to handling and poor practices by consumers - customers . Specific protocols are taken in place for transportation .

OSHA and ACGIH compliance, the ISO3MC frees up valuable storage space normally filled with boxes of spent intact lamps, reduces handling and related labor costs, and typically cuts recycling costs by 50% or more.
Eliminate storage hassles - Reduce needed storage space for lamps by crushing over 1350 T8 4' lamps per 45-gallon drum the ISO 3MC crushes all length lamps, see picture to better visualize size reduction).
An ISO-3MC system not only crushes spent fluorescent lamps of any length, u-tubes, and CFL’s into 100% recyclable material, but it also captures over 99.99% of the vapors released! The system, which can hold up to 1350 4’ fluorescent lamps in one 55 gallon barrel.
​
A five-stage filtering process removes hazardous particulates and vapors. A recent study showed non-detectable levels of emitted mercury vapor even after crushing 1700 lamps. A digital control panel gives the operator added security by monitoring various aspects of the machine to better ensure operator safety
