Green-Port is committed to the recycling of all styles of obsolete street-lights.

The current street light technology in Canada makes use of mainly high pressure sodium (HPS) lamps. This specific type of lighting consumes more electrical energy when compared to light emitting diode (LED) lamps.

As the price of LED lighting continues to drop, municipalities are now considering the replacement of their cobra head street lights. We expect that electrical energy subsidies will be reduced in the future for all street lighting in towns, cities and on highways. We believe this will accelerate the change from HPS to the LED street lights.

Green-Port Environmental is here to assist you in the collection, transportation and recycling of cobra head street lights. We offer proper disposal options of the HPS lamps which contain mercury and must be properly disposed of, as opposed to land-filling.

Green-Port offers 100% recycling of the glass lens, the wire, the ferrous and non-ferrous metals and the capacitor, that are in a typical Canadian street lights.

Green-Port Environmental has once again expanded our suite of industrial and utility services. We now offer our trusted clients the option of refurbishing aging transformers, as opposed to buying new – a much more economical and sustainable approach!

Repairs and refurbishment can be as simple as:

• A gasket change
• Repairing and re-painting the tank
• Rewinding the cores and/or retro-filling with new insulating oil

Green-Port Environmental, in partnership with local transformer manufacturers, will pick up your transformers, have them assessed for refurbishment, and provide you a timely quote and date for their return to service.

If the transformer is deemed to be scrap, Green-Port will purchase the transformer on a per KVA basis and recycle all of its components at its MOE approved < 50 ppm PCB treatment, transfer and recycling facility in Georgetown, Ontario.
