Dealing with Fluorescent Tubes

Filed in: Energy, Waste & Recycling

Hello Ashley,

Since we are all being encouraged to use fluorescent bulbs at home, now that I have one that has worn out, what is the best way to dispose of it? Am I correct that there is a small amount of mercury (or something toxic) in the coating inside the glass?

Many thanks,

Julia
