Air Cycle Corp. (Lisle, IL) is introducing its CFL Premium Bulb Eater, a new version of its bulb crusher. The device can crush and store up to 3,000 compact fluorescent lamps for 100% recycling, the company states, and it can also crush tube lamps. A three-stage filtration system captures 99.99% of the mercury vapor, the company reports. When a drum of crushed lamps is full, Air Cycle states that it will make arrangements fot it to be picked up and recycled at the nearest EPA-approved recycling facility.
