My mom just pointed me to a website for recycling household compact fluorescent bulbs. I almost hyperventilated at the first few prices I saw ($100.00 or more) but wait! Have no fear! For ordinary compact fluorescent bulbs that we use at home, you can dispose of 12 bulbs for about $15.00, just over $1.00 per bulb. That's actually do-able. You buy a "kit" which includes packaging and all postage. When you receive it, you fill the box with used bulbs (I'm figuring that's going to take a LONG time), and ship it off to be recycled when it's full.
Here's the website.
I just ordered mine.
My mom is such a treehugger. I'd post a picture of her hugging a tree in Idaho, but I'm not sure she'd want me to. :-)
