My council have always taken tubes before but they are classed as hazardous waste and can't go in landfill so I will have to burn petrol, putting CO2 into the atmosphere taking one 4ft tube to the council dump to be diposed of. There again I could put the tube back in the bin and hit it on the side with a hammer. Just wondered what is so hazardous about a tube that it can't go into landfill. Also bearing in mind that there has been debate this week about fining people for using a filament bulb and encougaging the use of compact fluorescent bulbs whether the CO2 saved by using the more efficient bulbs is going to be more than offset by the extra CO2 used in disposing of Fluorescent tubes and bulbs.
