Eastern Distribution's Trans-Loading Project in Greenville, Carolina Recycles Waste Light Bulbs and Saving Lives


Eastern Distribution combines rail access, local trucking, material handling and trans-loading at their Greenville SC warehouse to load rail hopper cars with waste light bulbs.

Eastern Distribution's capabilities are making it possible for a Waste recycling company to efficiently transfer hundreds of tons of waste glass light bulbs via rail to a distant recycling plant. This year just under two million pounds of waste light bulbs were trans-loaded onto railcars for recycling from Eastern Distribution's warehouse facility in Greenville, South Carolina.

At the recycling facility the light bulbs are ground into fine glass beads which have several uses including media blasting and are also add to asphalt paving improving traction and highway safety.
