When NLR first started almost 16 years ago there was one box truck servicing Connecticut for lamp recycling. Forward to 2011 and NLR now has over 7 trucks including tractor trailers and covers the road from Maine to Maryland. Factor in our LTL services and our region goes down to Florida and further. The regional bulk lamp recycling pick-up is one of the most effective ways for businesses to recycle. It has a number of benefits:
- Ability to handle large loads from pallets to trailer fulls. Also the ability to have a trailer left at a facility so that it can be loaded over time and picked-up when full.
- Containers-allows for the use of large fiber drums and contractor style OEM containers
- Drop & swap service-automatic replacement of full containers as needed
- Weekly, monthly pick-up scheduling allows for greater flexibility
- On-time service-all pick-up customers receive reminder calls and window of pick-up time-frames
- Extended “emergency” service with weekend pick-ups available
- Multi-waste stream pick-ups (lamps, batteries, ballasts, ewaste and mercury devices)
- All drivers carry the necessary paperwork, packaging and labels for each clients specific waste pick-up needs.
- On-site services for labor if needed
- All trucks full permitted, insured and owned by NLR
