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:

For your bathroom fixtures, we give these round CFLs (not those curly, weird-looking one) a big green light. The warm, natural light is as flattering as traditional incandescent light.

Why It's Green:

These days, using CFLs is globally recognized as one of the easiest ways to slash wasteful energy use. A single CFL bulb will save you some $35 in energy costs over its lifespan, not to mention the cost of the conventional bulbs (eight) you'd use in its place. A 13-watt CFL bulb puts out the same light as a 60-watt incandescent, but lasts eight times longer. A 26-watter equals a 100-watt incandescent.
