Comment Mercury Content of CFL bulbs (Score 1) 569

People are a little too concerned about the mercury in these bulbs with no concept of the amount that is contained within. I oversee the reclaim program for our office campus and I'll give you the breakdown from last year's bulb recycling efforts:

1,982 lamps/bulbs recycled

a total of

495.1 kg of glass

5.85 kg of metal

7.4 kg of phosphor

0.073 kg of mercury = 73 g = 2.575 oz

That's what is generated from 4 buildings in one year.
