The US FEDERAL EPA initiated a mercury-containing lamp recycling outreach program in 2002 to promote mercury lamp recycling by commercial and industrial users. The outreach program aims to increase awareness of the proper disposal methods of these lamps in compliance with federal and state universal waste rules. This outreach effort will be effective in increasing the amount of lamps recycled in the short-term, as well as have lasting impact over the long-term. EPA's goal is to raise the national recycling rate for mercury lamps from the current 20% to 40% by 2005, and 80% by 2009.
