Answer 2

Please check with a local recycling facility. I know some websites will send you an envelope to mail them in, but I don't know of one off the top of my head.

However, I found this website when checking out my local area for information: http://earth911.org/. On the top of the page you will see an option to input the type of item you are trying to recycle, in this case a CFL bulb, and then type in your location.

If you live in California, like I do, the following site referred me to the link above: http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/Publiced/Earths9...

Please note, it is illegal in the state of California to throw away CFL bulbs in the trash since they contain mercury.

Answer 3

idk where, but you should recycle them properly because they do contain mercury. you could use wikipedia probably

Answer 4

i heard that you can recycle them at Ikea stores.

If you don't have one near you then i don't know where else.

Answer 5

Where I live Home Depot takes them back for recycling.  You can google your area and add household hazardous waste, there may be a facility near you.
