When we inquired about how the fluorescent light bulbs were being disposed from the schools, we were asked to talk to a hazardous materials contractor. He told us that he was using a bulb crusher that captured the mercury and the rest of the waste was sent to the landfill. When we showed our zero-waste system to the maintenance department, they thought it was a great system especially for schools. Kids sometimes will ask questions especially after bad media stories about plastic recycling.

Our first meeting regarding the zero-waste fluorescent light recycling system was to Sharon Howland, the former manager of the Recycle department. After a short but detailed presentation, Town of Cochrane became our first customer.

Summa Manor is a 14-unit condo in Calgary built during the financial downturn of 2008 and therefore had not built a reserve fund. Shiraz Karmali, the condo president panicked when the fire department told him that his carbon monoxide monitor had failed their inspection and need repair or replacement. He came to us asking for solution to his dilemma. We proposed to replace his CO units and suggested that we also upgraded his lights to LED and financed the whole project through the electricity. We were able to finance the project over 3 years and the savings paid for the product and financing costs. Shiraz became the first satisfied customer of EnviroLight Retrofit and Recycling. He was extremely happy with the fact he had no out of pocket expenses.
