CFLs — Don’t Throw Them Away!
Via Librarians’ Internet Index.
“Replacing incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) is a great way to reduce electrical use … but throwing them away in your regular trash can lead to soil and water pollution because CFLs contain small amounts of mercury.” This site provides a directory of “free, local and convenient ways for California residents to recycle CFLs (and other household wastes such as batteries and electronic devices).” From the California Public Utilities Commission.
