Abu Dhabi to build facilities for safe electric lamp disposal

Abu Dhabi will soon build facilities to ensure the safe disposal and recycling of all types of electric lamps. It is an important move as some types of electric lamps contain mercury that pollutes groundwater after being dumped in landfills. Tadweer, the Centre of Waste Management - Abu Dhabi, is working on the development of storage units and recycling facilities for electric lamps as part of the master plan for waste management in the emirate, a senior official told Gulf News.
