OK...I tried!

I spent the big bucks on those quirky little energy saving light bulbs, but today I took them all out of the bathroom and put my regular 100 w bulbs over the mirror because it was too dark in there. A bulb that lasts for 8 years was a good selling point for me, but they also say not to dispose of them in the regular garbage because they contain mercury. WTH! So where do I dispose of them? I still have them in a light fixture over my kitchen table, so I guess I'll wait 8 years to worry about how to dispose of those......if I don't replace them with regular bulbs that put out some light before then!!!
