Disposing Compact Flourescent Light bulbs

Off Topic

I have 3 burned out light bulbs. I know they have mercury so should not just be thrown away.

I live in Dallas.

How do I safely dispose of them?

Thanks. Thanks. Thanks.

Local Lowe’s stores have recycling receptacles (batteries, compact fluorescent bulbs & plastic shopping bags) near the entry where they have their return merchandise service desk.

I noticed this as a casual observation the other night whilst doing a return…

Aha! I’ll run the batteries by there, then. The bucket we’ve got in the galley is apparently from a company that closed. Batteries Plus says there might be a charge, so I’ll try Lowe’s.

I know Best Buy takes batteries and old phones.
