What do states say about disposing CFLs?
Practically all states have adopted the Federal UWR for lamps and thus apply the same requirements, including the aforementioned exemptions for households and most have adopted exemptions for small quantity generators. A small but growing number of states, however, now ban the disposal of all mercury-added lamps in solid waste, regardless of whether they fail the TCLP test and regardless of which party generates them. NEMA supports state recycling laws, where they exist.
