ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

BULB CRUSHING BECOMING AN IMPORTANT PART OF RETROFIT PROJECTS

Uncategorized TerraCycle Bulb Eater
When a Fortune 500 company in Colorado Springs decided to invest in a lighting retrofit at its corporate campus, management understood the project would not only save them substantially in energy costs but would also score them valuable good-will amongst their customer base.  The only problem was going to be the logistical nightmare the three-week installation schedule caused and the waste it produced... ASG Energy chose to use a BulbEater® by TerraCycle drum-top bulb crushing unit to facilitate the storage of the waste bulbs.  By compacting the bulbs in a drum-top crusher, they captured the dangerous mercury, while consolidating the space impact of the waste.  The BulbEater® unit compacts more than 1,300 bulbs into a single, steel drum.
