[Announce] lights - where best to recycle round flourescents?

[James Travers]

Sheree, 
   
  I know of no place to recycle these lamps which do contain a small quantity of mercury. 
   
  The State University supposedly has dumpster for recycling fluorescents, but it is for their own waste and not open to the public for their use.
   
  Perhaps someone else knows. 
   
  Maybe an email to DGS Commissioner Willard Bruce would get you an answer about what the City does with the many of theirs when it's time for their disposal. 
   
  His response to you may be quite revealing.

not a CFL? Have we no alternative but to "dump" them?

Is there a local recycling source of info on this and many items that any 
could recommend? Diverting from landfills - people want to, but how is 
hard.
