I’m wondering where all the panic went over the old style long fluorescent tubes? Must be that they used non toxic mercury. LOL

Who still uses them at home? They use up a lot of electricity. As far as industrial use they must be packaged and sent to a recycling site. You buy a pre-paid box and stuff them in. I always tried to convince my boss to just shatter them and fill the box with the shards but he would never go for it.
