This is a simple product that encourages each home to store, not throw used bulbs. Bulbs fuse at odd times, often at that moment, you are wondering what to do with the used bulb and not knowing where to put it, you just put it in the bin or give it with other dry waste to the scrap dealer. Both are dangerous things to do. A book explains why.
This product stores up to 12 used bulbs and keeps them safe till they can be given to a ewaste recycler. A unique gift that will spread the word of little actions making big impact. Customise it with our beautiful stickers.
Ewaste recyclers prefer not to pick these up for free, they need to be paid to dispose them safely. This is because running the bulb recycling plant is expensive. While large corporates can pay for the safe disposal of bulbs the challenge is in homes and smaller institutions. Therefore it is best to collect, store safely and then hand over a sizeable number to the recycler in the safe container along with other valuable Ewaste like old computers, or gadgets or wires. Yes, you may still need to pay for these to be recycled, but you are doing the right thing!
Note: When full, close, and keep out of reach of small kids.
