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
of Mercury will be going back into the Ground.

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.
