Lamps, batteries & ballasts
Small volumes, generated everywhere, and the stream most likely to be sitting in a back room past its accumulation limit. Universal waste is simple to handle correctly and conspicuous when it is not.
Where it can go
Each route below is assessed and ruled out before the next is considered. Disposal is what remains after that, not where the conversation starts.
Lamps and mercury-containing devices retorted so the mercury, glass and metal end components are recovered.
Lead, lithium, nickel and alkaline chemistries sorted and routed to the recycler matched to each type.
Ballasts and devices de-manufactured for metal content, with regulated components separated.
Treatment and disposal for components with no recovery route, documented accordingly.
What KODA handles
The outlet is chosen on the material's merits, not on what is convenient. Every option is weighed against what the stream actually is, what it is worth and what documentation it has to produce — and the reasoning is shown to you, not summarized.
Common in
Manufacturing, commercial facilities, healthcare, retail, government, education and property management.
One stream is a complete engagementThis can be handled on its own, at one site, with no requirement to move anything else to KODA. It can also run as part of a full portfolio. The scope is yours to set and can change in either direction.
Questions
Most commonly lamps, batteries, mercury-containing devices such as thermostats and switches, certain pesticides, and in many states aerosol cans. State lists vary, and some states add categories the federal rule does not.
Federal rules set an accumulation limit measured from when the waste is generated or received, and states may be stricter. Tracking it is part of the service, because the limit is a common finding in inspections.
Yes. It is one of the most common single-stream engagements, and there is no requirement to move anything else.
