You're either running a big multiplex or saving your used bulbs for something special. Be careful though, somebody might also inadvertently label this as a potential WMD storage facility.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 10-24-2014 06:25 PM                     Lots of tungsten that one can take to the recycle ...  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 10-25-2014 09:06 AM                     I tried taking the tungsten electrodes to recycle... ok, sell. They wouldn't take it, it has some radioactive Thorium added and that makes it unacceptable. The cost of refining it is more than the tungsten is worth.  |  IP: Logged Buck Wilson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 894 From: St. Joseph MO, USA Registered: Sep 2010 posted 10-25-2014 10:00 PM                     The place here takes it, we recycle ours.  |  IP: Logged Annli Com Expert Film Handler Posts: 140 From: ShibuPaul-India Registered: May 2014 posted 10-26-2014 05:34 AM                        Recycling is a big problem ,Around Near 1000 used xenon bulbs in our custody.Philips Christie and orsam ...No Idea For What next ?  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 10-27-2014 08:31 AM                     If you're sitting on a bunch of 1000 used xenon lamps, you're either saving them since day and age or you're the central warehouse for a local chain I suppose? I have no clue for your area, but here I would just call the manufacturers and ask them if they could arrange a return. You've bought hundreds of their lamps, looks like they could do a little favor in return? I've no clue how recycling in India works. At least here, manufacturers are supposed to provide easy means of recycling, in many cases by law. I'm also by no means a recycling expert and if you're talking about 1000 of those lamps, well, that's really quite a number. But this is what I would do, if the the manufacturers won't help: Order a big metal trash container from your local trash handling company and carefully smash them one by one, inside the box and plastic clam shells, just like you would do when smashing a single lamp. Make sure every single one of them is properly smashed, as you don't want to have one of those explode while being handled later on. Maybe it's also best if everybody involved at least wears protective glasses and some gloves during the process. Otherwise, it's really going to be a field day .  |  IP: Logged
