Determining if a table lamp is recyclable depends on its materials and components. Simply put, most table lamps are recyclable, but you need to disassemble them first for specific processing.

Recyclable Material Identification Guide

Remember this guide: "Paper, Plastic, Glass, Metal, Clothing." Table lamps mainly involve "Metal" (metal parts) and "Plastic" (plastic shell).

Table Lamp Recycling Process

1. Sorting and Identification:

1) Metal parts (e.g., lamp arm, base): Belong to "Metal," recyclable.

2) Plastic parts (e.g., lampshade, shell): Belong to "Plastic," recyclable.

3) Glass parts (e.g., lampshade): Belong to "Glass," recyclable.

4) Electronic components (e.g., circuit boards, wires): Recyclable, but require professional processing.

2. Hazardous Material Disposal:

1) Mercury-containing fluorescent tubes: Belong to hazardous waste and must be disposed of separately.

2) LED bulbs: Generally free of hazardous substances; dispose of with the entire lamp.

3. Disposal Recommendations:

1) Intact table lamp: Dispose of in the recyclable waste bin.

2) Damaged energy-saving lamp: Seal and dispose of in the hazardous waste bin.

3) Electronic components: It is recommended to remove and send to an electronic waste recycling point.

Environmental Tips:

1) Source reduction: Choose mercury-free and flicker-free LED table lamps for a longer lifespan.

2) Extend lifespan: Reduce waste through repair or resale.

3) Professional recycling: Send large or complex table lamps to electronic waste recycling points.
