We had the correct answer on compact fluorescent bulb disposal on the first call

What advice do local jurisdictions give their residents regarding proper disposal of broken compact fluorescent bulbs? 

The Consumer Unit at television station NBC4 put area governments to the test. The result of its investigation, "Cleaning Up CFL Bulbs", aired last week.  Of the eight jurisdictions contacted,

"only Montgomery County answered our question in one call and gave us the correct EPA instructions."

Kudos to our Call Center staff!

While we welcome calls, our instructions for compact fluorescent bulb disposal are available on our website at any time of the day.
