I really hope so Pete, but here come LED's!

Our Home Depot does Stefan. This program will be great for those that don't have a recycling oppportunity near them.

Mary, we have clean up here as well. I have also been known to "pick" now and then. Recycling at its finest.

Hi Andrew - good post. I wonder about the cost also and all the packaging and gas to ship the box twice doesn't make it very eco friendly! I would check with my community first to see if they have a recycling program and use this as a last resort!

My community has two clean up days per year, spring and fall, where they add an extra pickup for items like these. It's funny watching the "pickers" as we call them, driving down the road the night before looking to see what they can pick up!

This is a great solution to the CFL recycling problem. A rep at Home Depot just told me at the Eco Broker Conference that they will soon, if your store has not already, be recycling CFL's.

Cool service Andrew. It is good to see that recycling options are growing steadily for CFLs. The barriers to using CFLs are being eradicated. Hopefully, that will spur some that were previously on the fence about using CFLs.
