Those curly compact fluorescent light bulbs that are/were all the rage as being energy efficient, and all what have ya, are loaded with mercury. Once they wear out, you can't just chuck them off to the landfill...they have to go to the "special" recycling facility. And if you happen to drop one, causing a break, you'll need a haz-mat team to come to you and clean it up.

Wow, never heard of this before and I think I have one of these bulbs upstairs. I will check this out tomorrow and it will be gone for sure.
Thanks for the warning. :?
