They have less mercury in each than a regular fluorescent bulb, so don't have a cow!
On the other hand, I have saved, to date, about $30,000 in "clean up costs."
How? Not telling.

So just throw these things in the trash? Many people probably will, purely out of habit if for no other reason.
I received a notice from the local power company along with my recent gas and electric bill: “Broken or burned out CFLs should never go in the regular trash. Place them in approved collection sites”...
So now we’re supposed to run around disposing of old light bulbs in “approved collection sites”! Another trip for the car to make, guzzling extra gas.
And these things cast such a dim, sickly glow. We’ll all get headaches from squinting and be running to the doctor for relief, driving up health care costs.
So, if we follow the money, who among our elected officials benefits from the imposition of this absurd “energy-saving” product?
