+1 to that and will add: Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouses accepts used mercury based bulbs. They have a public recycling station located by the Customer Returns Counter in many stores. Bags are provided for a sealed bin that receives the used bulbs. Ask an Associate for assistance if you cannot find the recycling station. The last bulbs that I dropped off were at the Indian Trail location of Lowe's....<BR>
