VII. PROCEDURES FOR DISPOSAL OF LAMPS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FEIT ELECTRIC COMPANY recommends that all mercury-containing lamps be recycled.
For a list of lamp recyclers and to obtain state regulatory disposal information, log onto
www.lamprecycle.org.
If lamps are broken ventilate area where breakage occurred. Clean-up with a special mercury vacuum
cleaner (not a standard vacuum cleaner), or other suitable means that avoid dust and mercury vapor
generation. Take usual precautions for collection of broken glass. Clean-up requires special care due to
mercury droplet proliferation. Place materials in closed containers to avoid generating dust.
