Dumping?

There are a couple Free collection sites for Fluorescent bulbs in our area. There is also a county directory on where to dispose of different items. Have you tried a google search on Fluorescent Disposal in your area?

Yep, thanks for the information but nothing is close. I'm going to have to take them to a site out of town probably.
