Can I receive collection equipment at a project site?
We can be of service to you at a project location where many lamps and/or luminaires are released in a short period of time. We would like to ask you to register first via the MyOPEN button at the top right of this website. Once you have done this, you can request collection resources that match the nature and scope of the project. We will then contact you to make an appointment. There is always a minimum amount you can apply for at a time. We would like to ask you to keep details of dimensions/numbers of fixtures ready. The removal and recycling by us is free of charge.
