Well, that's the other thing that bugs me about that website
(lamprecycle.org): all they talk about is the recovery of mercury from
CFLs. Nothing about the rest of the bulb. What happens to all that
glass, aluminum, plastic, phenolic, copper, tin, tantalum, etc.? ..

That is a good question, but not the sugject of this thread. I
would guess they get put in the same place as used standard tungston
lamps. Not perfect, but not really a factor being addressed at this
time, unless you are suggesting going back to candles that cause more
pollution.
