Good question. In my area:

Fourth on the list.

In yours:
The City of Houston will accept fluorescent light bulbs and tubes from
residents at the North and South Environmental Service Centers and the
Westpark Consumer Recycling Center.


And what's the tradeoff of energy saved by the CFLs vs energy wasted
by all those people making an average 20 mile round trip burning gas?


Keep dead CFLs lying around until you are heading towards their disposal
site for other purposes. Next time you go to Home Depot, dump there all
of your CFLs that croaked since the last time you went to HD with dead
CFLs.
