Disposing of CFL bulbs when they’ve exhausted their lifespan can be tricky due the mercury they contain.  Mercury can contaminate a water supply so disposing of the CFL bulbs correctly is very important.

If you live near a Home Depot store your disposal problems have been solved.  According to Home Depot’s website here they will accept unbroken CFLs at all of their stores, just wrap them in a plastic bag and dispose of them in the container provided. 

Broken bulbs should be dealt with according to the instructions on this page provided by the PA Utility Commission.
