According to the NY Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/24/business/24recycling.html?_r=1&ref=business&oref=slogin), Home Depot will now start recycling compact fluorescent bulbs at all locations from all brands. They contain a very slight amount of mercury, so they are not safe to throw out.
This is great news, because no one seems to know what to do with CFL bulbs. Some counties/communities accept them at the county recycling center (Arlington county does here in VA, for instance), but some counties don't have a center that you can take them to.
Hopefully Home Depot will be better with this program than they are with their battery recycling program.
