OBtSWL,

This would be the same amount of Mercury that came out of the Ground.

Was processed into the CFL Bulb.

And when the CFL Blub is disposed-of it : That same amount

Around here they don't bury the lamps. You turn them in at a HHW

used chemicals and motor oil. It is illegal to put mercury in the
trash, period.
