How to handle a broken CFL bulb
- gmac 15y agoThese instructions were linked from a CFL bulb I just bought (to replace yet another bulb that's burned out within a year or two). Pretty sure 95% of people will just sweep these up and bin them. And also just bin a burned-out bulb. (Edit -- apparently in coal-powered areas the Hg emissions saved from burning coal are greater than estimated emissions from CFLs in landfill, though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_fluorescent_lamp#Mercury_content http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_fluorescent_lamp#Mercur...).
