An Integrated Lighting Waste Recycling Solution Setting a Benchmark for Carbon-Efficient Compliance
Recolight, the leading WEEE Compliance Scheme for lighting offers a comprehensive WEEE compliant project collection service, specifically designed to support large scale luminaire projects across the UK.
The service provides an integrated collection and recycling solution for all lighting waste generated during major projects. This includes lamps, luminaires, emergency batteries, and all electricals covered by the WEEE Regulations. By offering a single point of contact for project requirements, Recolight ensures carbon-efficient, compliant management of lighting waste from start to finish. We operate in line with WEEE regulations and ISO standards, guaranteeing consistent quality and environmental responsibility.
“Collection and recycling of luminaires and lamps is free for Recolight Scheme Members, subject to our standard terms and conditions,”
said Lyndsey Tweddle, Recolight’s Customer Service Manager.
“We’ve been providing project collections for many years, and due to increasing demand, we are now offering the service to non‑members as well. We’re seeing strong uptake from organisations who value a compliant, carbon‑efficient solution delivered by a specialist team.”
Whether upgrading fittings, relighting entire buildings, or managing client projects, Recolight partners with clients and contractors to schedule flexible collections, supply appropriate containers, and guarantee full regulatory compliance throughout. The service is underpinned by years of experience, efficient logistics, and transparent guidance on WEEE responsibilities. Clients benefit from complete audit trails, supplier licences, along with detailed reports on project tonnages and carbon emissions to support Scope 3 reporting.
“Our streamlined service makes us the go-to supplier for all lighting waste needs on large projects,”
said Nigel Harvey, CEO Recolight,
“We take the hassle out of compliance and recycling, so our customers can focus on delivering energy-efficient lighting upgrades with confidence.”
