I wonder if they can make money on this.
I’ve wondered if the electronics in the bulb is what goes bad, or the bulb itself, and if the electronics were recyclable.
And of course, if you drive to Home Depot to discard your old bulbs, you may just buy your new ones there as well.
I do have a box of old bulbs I’ve been saving for recycling. I wonder if they will take my big tube lights, I’ve got a bunch of those as well.
You have to pay to “recycle” your car battery and your tires.
Why not bill you for the bulbs too?
