Same place as fl tubesMine too, but they now charge for plasterboard, tyres and 'rubble' amongst other things, so may soon be charging for them.

- But it might be a bit far for you to travel to get rid of a few CFLs]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12711&Focus=212045#Comment_212045 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12711&Focus=212045#Comment_212045 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 08:58:50 +0000 rhamdu
Is anyone aware of a facility, anywhere, that reclaims mercury from standard and compact fluorescents?

And is there anything recyclable in CFL electronics? Presumably no gold and very little copper...]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12711&Focus=212050#Comment_212050 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12711&Focus=212050#Comment_212050 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 09:37:45 +0000 TimSmall

I thought someone might know. Not a complete waste of time returning them, then.

What about the rare earth phosphors, then? Do they recover those? Or are lanthanum and yttrium common as dirt? http://www.lamptech.co.uk/Documents/FL%20Phosphors.htm]]>
