So what are we supposed to do with these bulbs when they stop working?

Right now I just throw the incandescent bulbs in the trash.

I don’t always have a lot of room in my trash can, so I sometimes put my foot in it and mash it down so I can get more in. This will probably crush the bulb if I throw it in there with the trash.

Am I supposed to drive this bulb to a special haz mat dump to get rid of it?Has one been established in every part of our country? Will I be fined if I am caught throwing one in my trash can?

More unintended consequences.
