Where do you dispose of the government mandated Mercury Bulbs?

Update:

Where is the savings now I got to spew carbon from my exhaust and drive 20 miles to dispose of well thought out liberals.

    Just throw them into the regular trash.

    75 watt incandescent bulbs are on their way out in january. But just like all light bulbs just throw them in the trash and don't worry about the mercury, at least don't worry until enough of it is in the ground to make it a threat to water supplies. Remember the forced tv upgrade that was foisted on the citizens because of all the broadcasters switching to digital. A massive amount of lead got reintroduced into the environment because of this. Don't worry about this either!

    I plan to put the pieces of mine in a box and mail them to my alleged representatives in the Swamp who decided we should have mercury bulbs in our homes but not in their offices and chambers.

    First, don't be ignorant. Dozens of countries have been using them for years without a problem. Really, it works,

    Second, there are already places that take them. Best Buy and Ikea are two that I know, off the top of my head.
