Yes, it takes years and more than a ton of dirt to effectively handle 1 bulb. We have been stock piling these bulbs since this law was passed.
Every time a light bulb burns out now we buy 4 more packs of incadescent bulbs. They are great heat sources, and that is what some clever guy in Europe did to avoid the stupid law.
Just relabled them as heaters, not a light source. LOL At least that’s what my daughter told me.
clarification stock piling incadescents not CFL.
