PRLog (Press Release) –
May 08, 2008 – Connecticut based Northeast Lamp Recycling is now NLR: Next Level for Recycling. Founded in 1994, NLR offers turnkey universal waste recycling services of lamps, electronic waste, batteries, ballasts & mercury devices to a broad group of companies and institutions including private and government office buildings, industrial complexes, educational facilities, hospitals, insurance companies, commercial establishments, and other institutions. Besides the name change, NLR has also launched a new Web site, nlr-green.com, & a new comprehensive recycling program for compact fluorescent lamps.
According to NLR Vice President Robert E. Robert, "NLR will continue to offer the same high level of professionalism and standards for Universal Waste Recycling that our customers' have come to expect from us over the last decade but with an increased focus on our customers ever changing needs. NLR has a strict no landfill policy along with a sustainable recycling methodology to ensure Responsible-
Green-Recycling."
To coincide with the corporate name change and newly launched site, NLR also unveiled the nations first "self-service" compact fluorescent (CFL) recycling display (COM-PAK) along with a homeowner CFL recycling program (HOUSEHOLD-PAK). Since CFLs contain mercury they pose a health risk to the environment & a liability for most businesses if not disposed of properly. Many individuals & businesses purchase CFLs to save energy, money & to help the environment but have an increasingly difficult time finding where & how to recycle these used lamps. The proper management & recycling of CFLs through programs like COM-PAK and Household-PAK are key to effective "Green" sustainability. Both the COM-PAK & Household-PAK programs are available nationwide only though NLR or nlr-compak.com.
As of 2008 NLR,Inc. is the first and only DEP permitted lamp and electronics recycler in the state of Connecticut. Due to its expanded service areas, qualifications and broader recycling services it has seen the need to elevate its services to the next level. NLR's service area reaches from Maine to Maryland with an additional facility located in New York.
