How many of you are buying CFLs: Compact Flourescent Lightbulbs and are you going to recycle them?

I just heard a story on NPR about how they have high levels of Mercury and it's really important to dispose of them safely.

Update:

sorry I should've done spellcheck, Fluorescent

    At this point I have no where local to recycle them. Oddly enough I have some that are 4 or more years old (have been in our house since before we moved in) And others barely make it a week. Some of this is because we are close to several transformers one for the local High School.

    I still use a fair number of incandescent due to fixtures not fitting the good ones.

    Yes, I will be recycling them but I am primarily focused on buying LEDs as they are even more efficient than CFLs.
