I observed about 50 cfl bases at the scrap yard today all missing the glass tubes. Mentioned to attendant I was surprised they"d take those in. Why? he says. The glass contains mercury I told him. Is that bad? he asked! WOW! They gent who dropped them off stopped me when I can out of the office to ask me why I what I said to the attendant about them. Talked to him about the mercury in the glass part. He was also unaware of the dangers of mercury. He. Works for a glass recycler and they get the bulbs in with their regular glass recyclables already broken. Seems there are a lot of people who toss them rather than recycle them properly. Over time there will be a growing mercury contamination from cfl bulbs at recycling centers and collection points from people disposing of the cfl bulbs in the wrong way. Lots of workers unexpectedly getting mercury exposure. Typical government, fix a small issue and create a worse one.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
