Does normal used/ fused lamps (non flouroscent or mercury) come under the definition of Hazardous waste?

No doubt someone here will offer you an answer that is intended to be helpful but which has no value to you. It's a regulatory issue and to find the answer you need to speak with the regulator in your own area.

The classification of hazardous waste is harmonised throughout Europe (sort of), but not globally.

Anyway, assuming you are talking about the bog standard lightbulb, or conventional filament lamps if you prefer, can be treated as normal waste.

Lamps such as fluorescent tubes, compact fluorescents, compact fluorescent energy savers, SONs, Mercury, Metal Halide and other types of discharge lamps, all of which contain various substances such as mercury, lead, cadmium or sodium which are potentially hazardous and/or damaging to the environment under covered under the WEEE directive.

Happy to be wrong here, as I can use the learning opportunity for my CPD.

There we go, a statement that - in the west of Scotland at least - these things are, or perhaps are not, hazardous wastes.

But as far as I'm aware, the west of, Scotland is not the regulatory centre for waste classification in the Middle East!

Please ask locally, since it is the local jurisdiction that matters
