Fluorescent Tube Collection
Service

At Titan Sky Ltd, we specialise in the safe, compliant collection and disposal of hazardous ​​fluorescent tube waste across the UK. All fluorescent tubes contain small amounts of mercury, making them hazardous waste under UK regulations. They must not be disposed of in general waste. 
Instead: Store them in a secure, labelled container provided by us. Arrange a collection with Titan Sky, a licensed hazardous waste carrier.
Waste is then securely packaged, labelled, and transported by our licensed carriers using ADR-compliant vehicles. We ensure full traceability through Waste Transfer Notes and Hazardous Waste Consignment Notes, and dispose of materials at authorised treatment facilities via specialist recycling. Our approach prioritises environmental protection, legal compliance, and client peace of mind.
