Recycle flourescent bulbs in the Durham and/or Greater Toronto Area?

[morkys]

Does anybody know where I can recycle flourescent bulbs in Durham and/or Greater Toronto Area? Durham's recycling/waste depots do not list flourescent bulbs as part of their recyclables and the place in Pickering asked me to toss them in the garbage.

Heh, let's see how good the mercury is for our environment.

Yeah, no kidding. That's why I want to recycle them. There are programs to re-capture mercury from the switches in cars, but I'm still looking for something similar for flourescent bulbs.

Ikea at North York has a drop box for that...it's beside the Return counters....I'm pretty sure other Ikea will have them too

That's perfect. I'll check them out. Do they do tubes of all sizes? I'll look into it?
