Dan-X Recycling LTD.

DAN-X RECYCLING LIMITED (DAN-X), based in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, was founded in 2009 by Mr. Dave Hall (President & CEO) and Mr. Dana Emmerson ( Vice President) to implement a service to recycle all mercury containing lamps, thermostats and other mercury containing devices. We are Nova Scotia’s first established mercury lamp recycling company. Our service is a unique set up whereby we supply special constructed cartons to safely contain lamps for shipments or to drop off at our recycling plant in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. The lamps are then packed in special stocking bins for processing through our state of the art processing plant that will separate the phosphor powder, aluminum end caps and glass for reuse in other applications.

Our plant was purchased from Balcan Engineering based in the United Kingdom and is the first of its kind to be sold and set up in Canada, processing 2000 lamps per hour. This unit is designed to accept all types of mercury containing lamps, including the incandescent bulbs that are being manufactured for household use. 

This business venture will put Nova Scotia first in this very important leadership role for recycling throughout Atlantic Canada.  With the high demand from local environmental agencies and groups, Dan-x Recycling’s aim is to help reduce the toxic and hazardous components that are getting into our atmosphere, and to lower power consumption.  Dan-X Recycling has had rapid growth since its inception, and is committed to being a leader as an environmental solutions company with future plans to expand its services to all the Maritime Provinces.
