In answer to John Reindl's inquiry regarding flourescent tube glass
recycling, there is a company located in Seattle that recycles the glass
after capturing the mercury inside the tubes. I am not sure what they do
about the phosphorous. Contact Craig Lorch at Total Reclaim -
clorch@totalreclaim.com.
