How do I dispose of my CFL bulbs?Is the disposal different than for regular bulbs?
In most states,fluorescent and compact fluorescent light bulbs used at home can be disposed of in the same way as regular light bulbs.While all fluorescent bulbs contain a trace amount of mercury,the quantity is so minute that disposal is not regulated by federal standards (established by the EPA,the Environmental Protection Agency).You would have to dispose of an incredibly large amount of fluorescent bulbs — around 360 4–foot fluorescent tubes — before you would be subject to federal disposal standards.
