Fluorescent Light Recycling
Calgary Transit has been collecting fluorescent tubes for recycling since 2006. These fluorescent tubes are generated from replacing bulbs in our facilities, buses and CTrain vehicles. The recycling of fluorescent tubes was initiated in an effort to keep mercury from entering and contaminating our landfills and groundwater.
In 2008 the SD 160’s CTrains were converted to an LED lighting system. The LED system replaces fluorescent tubes and it will reduce the number of bulbs sent for recycling.
