A chemical waste collection and disposal system for fluorescent lamps that allows for the safe collection and disposal of crushed or broken fluorescent lamps, while recovering substantially 100% of the hazardous mercury vapors contained within the lamps. A fluorescent lamps is inserted within a drum and broken into fragments by one or more blades, with the fragment falling to the bottom of the drum. The mercury vapors that are emitted from the broken fluorescent lamps are forced out of the drum by negative positive pressure created by a vacuum/filter assembly. Once though the filter assembly, which includes a HEPA filter and activated carbon filter, the gases are permitted to escape into the environment virtually 100% free of mercury toxins.

La présente invention concerne un recueil de déchets chimiques et un système de mise au rebut de lampes fluorescentes qui permettent de recueillir et de mettre au rebut sans danger des lampes fluorescentes écrasées ou cassées, avec une récupération de sensiblement 100 % des vapeurs de mercure dangereuses contenues à l'intérieur de ces lampes. Une lampe fluorescente est introduite à l'intérieur d'un cylindre et cassée en fragments par une ou plusieurs lames, ces fragments tombant au fond du cylindre. Les vapeurs de mercure émises par des lampes fluorescentes cassées sont éjectées hors du cylindre par une pression négative créée par un ensemble aspiration/filtre. Une fois dans cet ensemble filtre, qui comprend un filtre HEPA et un filtre à charbon activé, les gaz peuvent s'échapper dans l'environnement virtuellement exempts à 100 % de toxines de mercure.
