ABSTRACT:
A portable unitary apparatus is provided herein for disposing of hazardous light bulbs, e.g., fluorescent bulbs. The apparatus includes an open-topped, multi-compartmented container of circular cylindrical cross-section, having three compartments and a hinged covering lid. The lower surface of the lid is connected to a reduction chamber, having an axial inlet means for a bulb to be pulverized and an axial outlet leading directly to the collection compartment. A rigid unitary pulverizing blade is secured to the drive shaft of an electric motor. A light bulb feed chute extends through the lid, and extends from above the lid to the reduction chamber. A disposable pulverized light bulb collection bag is selectively-disposed within the collection compartment in air-sealed relationship to the axial outlet means of the reduction chamber. A vacuum motor is operatively-disposed within the lower exhaust chamber. The vacuum motor has an axial inlet at sub-atmospheric pressure to draw gases and particulates from the collection compartment and to expel them. The vacuum motor expels gases into the exhaust compartment at an overpressure.
