See Ya CFLs:

Recycle used CFLs at your local Home Depot, IKEA or check Earth911.org for drop-off locations in your zip code. If your state permits you to put used or broken CFLs in the garbage, seal the bulb in two plastic bags and put it in the outside trash. Don't incinerate, as CFLs contain a small amount of toxic mercury, an average of about 5 milligrams, which would get released into the air.

Why It's Good:

Anybody can easily install these Lego-like snapping tiles in as little as an hour. No nails, glue or even a hammer is needed for installation, and they are easily removable and reusable. Depending on your choice of wood, looks can range from chic and modern to warm and inviting. For placement over grass, dirt, or concrete.

Why It's Green:

Tiles are available in durable and long-lasting eucalyptus, ipe, teak, acacia and shorea wood that was responsibly harvested in Vietnam. Products are warehoused on both coasts, to help keep shipping costs down, and further minimize environmental impact.
