Isn't it amazing........they have us get rid of our mercury thermometers and now they want us to ADD mercury in our homes in the CFLs. I had one thermometer for over 30 yrs......but a home has at the very least 20 of those CFLs. The goverment ticks me off. I haven't had a CFL yet that lasted more than 1 yr. And I've spent big $$$ on some just because I thought they'd last longer.
Our local garbage company has instructions on how to dispose.
