Its funny you claim that the poster doesn't care about waste. You
see, you can toss a regular lightbulb into the trash since it is
basically safe. But the new CF bulbs are hazardous materials that
have to be handled by special licensed contractors. The contents
of those bulbs can kill you. Talk about waste...

In many areas of the USA, households are still allowed to dump CFLs into
regular trash.

"allowed".?!?!? Hell, i'll throw them whereever i want. And that's
usually in the trash can after they've been knocked off their socket by some
flying object or swing board.

Hmmm
Very good. I guess you throw away used batteries into the trash can as
well? Your grand kids will appreciate it.
