Your Trash Pickup service can't tell you where?
I tried an experiment, wrapped one in clear mailing tape and broke it with a hammer, figuring I'd put the glass pieces in the trash.

You have to hit them surprisingly hard, and when they pop the glass ignores the tape and you spend the next half hour picking it out of the grass.

Back in the '70s we subcontracted several projects involving
fluorescents, including the 4' tubes and 2' grow lights. When your
dealing in thousands of tubes you get about 5% that won't light. They'd
get thrown in the dumpster and not gently. Very few ever broke and that
was if they hit the edge of the dumpster on the way down.

The tubes came in cardboard boxes, stacked together with no spacers.
Inevitably boxes would get dropped unloading them from the truck or
moving them around the shop and I don't remember any breaking.
