For longer tubes:

Drop into empty bin so it lands on the end.
If you get it right, it all just piles down crumpling under its
own weight, until there's only about 12" left.

4. Hold lid slightly open.
5. Insert wrecking bar or other suitable implement and rap tube.
6. Reclose lid.

Easiest with long tubes:
1 Put in packaging of old tube.
2 Seal ends with plastic bag.
3 place one end on ground and leave go.

You'll be lucky.
I've even stood on one without it breaking (the glass tube is
semi-toughened on the outside only, just like ordinary light bulbs).

4 fold packaging and put in bin.
