Our Purpose

Recycling Light Bulbs, It's a Light Bright Idea

We have a deep affection for our planet. As a building owner or maintenance professional, you also have the power to contribute to the preservation of our planet by recycling the light bulbs in your building and preventing them from ending up in landfills.

Light bulbs contain numerous harmful substances, such as hazardous chemicals, gases, glass, and metal, which should not be disposed of in your building's garbage bins.

With our convenient and user-friendly solution, you can easily incorporate light bulb recycling into your building's environmental program.

ERS is the preferred organization for light bulb recycling, trusted by federal government buildings, provincial government buildings, municipal facilities, shopping malls, commercial buildings, and all other types of buildings that prioritize recycling for a more sustainable world.
