Burned out

One of those new-fangled twisty CFL light bulbs burned out in my laundry room the other day, and I wasn't sure what to do with it. You're not supposed to throw them in the trash because apparently they contain a smidgen of mercury (another reason to dislike them, in my book). I looked online and found out that Lowe's on Route 41 in Avondale has a recycling bin for them; it's just to the left of the main entrance. As directed, I put the bulb in a plastic bag and dropped it into the slot. Done!
