Default T-12 4 ft Fluorescent Tube Disposal

Got about a dozen of the old style 4 ft long, inch and a half diameter,
T-12, 40 watt fluorescent tubes that I don't need and am looking to get
rid of. Some new, some used, all work fine.

Neighbors don't want them- nor do the local charity donation centers or
my trash pickup company.

Ideas?


There are places that take them. Check with your local recycle company,
industrial electric suppliers and the like. There may be some state
resource center you can call.

Looks like Battery Plus stores will take them too

I've known people to just smash them and put them in the trash but have
no idea what the potential penalty would be if caught.
