'Eco' lamps

[veekay]

Can anyone tell me how I supposed to safely dispose of these horrid lamps, they contain mercury and I don't want to put it in the bin. Do the shops you buy them from have a disposal bin?

This is an interesting point.

There is a web site http://www.recycle-more.co.uk/lowenergybulb/ and on it you put in your postcde and it advises you where to take these bulbs to so that they can be recycled safely.

I di this and it comes up with either Orkney or Dingwall. This is no use to us at all but I presume that you should be able to take them to the Recycling Centre at Janetstown, Thurso.

There is a recycling bin for them in homebase I noticed
