As part of our ongoing commitment to the environment, recycling and to provide a full range of services within the electrical industry, Civic Recycling is now accepting NON-PCB fluorescent ballasts for recycling. A benefit from this service to you is we are able to issue certificates of recycling (upon request) that can be used to support LEED or any other recycling programs within your business. Whether you have a contract to remove 10,000 ballasts from an office tower or you are a home owner with 10, we can recycle them and there is no charge to you.

Generally speaking, fluorescent ballasts manufactured prior to 1979 may contain PCB’s. If you are unsure if your fluorescent ballasts contain PCB’s click here and you will be directed to a Government of Canada document that will provide you with part numbers from most major manufacturers to identify fluorescent ballasts that contain PCB’s.

You are welcome to drop off NON-PCB fluorescent ballasts anytime during business hours for recycling. For large quantities of ballasts (100 or more) please call ahead so we are prepared to receive them. We also offer a pick-up service for ballasts provided the ballasts are secured for transport and not loose. This service is provided at a cost of $50.00/pick up minimum.
