don't just throw it out as they do use some amount of mercury in the constrction of the bulb. It is recommended to drop them off at places like Lowe's and Home Depot......yes the rash can is much handier but think in terms of millions and billions being thrown in the trash and the additional poisoning of mother earth and for those who come after us.
