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

Trash.

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.


This is a stop-gap argument...like sealing nuclear waste in a
mountain! Let future generations worry about it.
Please re-cycle these time-bombs.
