Yes, but do you dispose of them properly? According to the EPA it should be placed in a double plastic bags and brought to your outside garbage can.

And, even if YOU do, are we so naive as to think everyone is going to follow the rules when it comes to disposal. Does anyone have the statistics off hand of compliance with recycling laws already in place in various communities? Much less, VOLUNTARY compliance?

Also, I’m not sure how double-bagging prevents the bags from being ripped open by a broken bulb when thrown into the landfills... It seems that this is a very risky proposal when it comes to our environment, frankly... Not to mention the risk to children, pets, etc... It’s not like these are indestructible, and no matter how careful one is, accidents WILL happen - that’s why they are called accidents.
