Light bulb

Did I mention my light bulb????    Doing my part to save the earth I read the information on the "new" light bulbs.   Low energy, lower cost and will last 7 years !!!!!!   Sound wonderful, doesn't it????

The light bulb was out.....I wrote to the light bulb company.  I stated that their 7 year light bulb didn't last 7 months........Plus, that bulb (and others I suspect) has mercury vapor.    How am I suppose to dispose of this bulb.   They said they would send me a new light bulb (which they did) and to dispose of it I was to contact my state department of enviormnmental protection......

I did install the bulb, and haven't gotten around to notifying the state.   Surely they must have a recycling program for those bulbs>>>
