Homebase, one of the UK's home improvement retailers, has signed an agreement with specialist recycling scheme Recolight to provide in-store collection facilities for low-energy light bulb recycling.
Over the next six weeks, Recolight's Bulbstore Mini collection containers will be rolled out across Homebase's 320 stores nationwide, providing customers with facilities for them to dispose of their old energy saver light bulbs.
Nigel Harvey, Recolight chief executive said: "Recolight is committed to making it as easy as possible for people to recycle their old low-energy light bulbs, and to raise awareness of the importance of doing so. Homebase has over 70 million customers through its stores each year and we believe this partnership will enable us to spread the recycling message more widely and provide convenient collection locations for customers to take their old light-bulbs. We are delighted by the commitment made by Homebase. This is a really exciting development which will be integral to helping us to raise recycling rates as more low-energy light bulbs start to reach end-of-life in the coming years."
As part of the partnership with Homebase, volunteers collecting light-bulbs in their community under the Recolight CoBRA scheme will also be able to use Homebase stores as drop off points. |

Recolight, a specialist WEEE compliance scheme for gas discharge lamps, has announced it has funded the recycling of 100 million lamps since it commenced operations in July 2007. This figure represents more than a third of a tonne of mercury which would otherwise have entered landfill[1], and cements Recolight's reputation as a unique force in WEEE compliance.
Nigel Harvey, Recolight's chief executive, said; ""Reaching the 100 million mark is a significant achievement - not just for Recolight, but for the lighting industry as a whole. The dedication of our collection points and environmentally aware contractors, as well as the vital support of our members, have all contributed to our success.
"Through Recolight, the lighting industry is arguably responsible for recycling more items of WEEE than any other UK industry sector, As the UK's specialist lamp compliance scheme, we are continually looking at ways to increase recycling rates and raise awareness of the need to recycle."
