New EU legislation means that certain wastes are now categorised as ‘Hazardous' (under the European Waste Catalogue) and as such can only go to a suitably licensed recycling facility, or to a landfill site authorised to take Hazardous Waste. End of life lamps and tubes and crushed lamp debris, containing mercury or sodium, are examples of such wastes.
