CFL's in the News

Article on MSN Today Shining a light on hazards of fluorescent bulbs

Good article that actually explains how much mercury there is in a bulb. It did not mention the possible effects of mercury (Mad Hatter). It also mentioned that Ikea is the largest recyler of CFL's. As a retailer, it's a headache for recyling CFL's. Especially if you have breakage. The good news is they are handled that as universal waste, so you don't need manifests and such. With enough quantity, Ikea at each location may be a large quantity generator which has more regulations to follow.
