These just go out with the other recycling, right?
All fluorescent lights contain mercury, they can’t be made without it. These CFL bulbs contain significantly less mercury than the large fluorescent tubes though.
And mercury is a metal, so that means they go out with commingled bottles and cans. Got it!
You really need to check. Most of the time they are not put in with normal recycling because of the mercury hazard.
