    How can I dispose of my CFLs safely without harming the environment?

    also, I have heard that there are places that recycle regular batteries (the standard AA, AAAs, etc.) too.. I think they reuse the metal or something. any ideas how I can dispose of them without just tossing it in the trash?

    You can take the CFL bulbs to Home Depot for recycling.
