IKea will recycle your CFL Bulbs with "Free Take Back" Program

The first place I bought my first pack of CFL bulbs (Compact Florescent Light Bulbs) is also now recycling those bulbs. CFLs have Mercury in them and need to be disposed in special manner by professionals.
So Collect your CFLs once they reach their end of life (Mind you they last for a very long time.) bring your used mercury containing lightbulbs to the IKEA store for free disposal. IKEA's offer a ‘Free Take Back’ program offering recycle bins in all IKEA stores is a very responsible task by IKEA. If you are far away from IKEA or want to find out how to accomplish this in other manner, lamp disposal information for your state is available at www.lamprecycle.org .
In addition to CFL bulbs, IKEA is being environmentally responsible than many others. To learn about their afforts, please follow this link.
