[GreenYes] Esoteric Recycling

["Pete Pasterz" <ppasterz@pplant.msu.edu>]

I have a request from our campus Instuctional Media Center to recycle:

--50,000 [annual] rolls of transparency film

--1000 [annual] projection lamps .


Yes, I have already talked with 3M/Gemark [and they will "accept" the transparency rolls, of course if we ship them to PA].    

Has anyone had any other good experiences with or leads for recyclers with "better terms"?


On the lamps...any recycling leads?   I know that in some states lamps of various types [beyond fluorescent] are now considered universal waste [not so in my anti-regulatory state].    Has this stimulated an infrastructure for Halogen lamp recycling?     Again, any good experiences or leads would be helpful.


Thanks.
