Default Fluorescent Tube Disposal

Got three dead 48" tubes from my shop lights. What's the right method

Trash.

If you're worried about nasties leeching into the water supply, don't.
Municipal solid waste pits are sealed to prevent such a thing. If the
sealing breaks down, there would be a much bigger problem than that
contributed by your florescent bulbs.
