Why would I take a burned-out (or whatever keeps them from functioning) CFL
to my recycling center when I could mail it to my congressman along with a
note saying "You know what you can do with this!"

I generally leave recyclable stuff in my car (batteries, lights,
plastic bags, etc) and whenever I happen to be at Home Depot I drop
them off. Is that really so hard to do?- Hide quoted text -

Yep but where I live the recycling is very limited. There is a
convenient drop-off right in town but only for cans, aluminum cans,
cardboard, news paper. I am keeping a coffee can for used batteries,
dunno if they will take those or not. I alsohave a basement with a
lot of E-scrap. That I can only get rid of by hauling to the next
town (30 mile roundtrip) Somehow I always forget to load it up when I
am going that ways.

Sure would be nice to have a spot for plastic recyclables.
