So I went to the site mentioned below
since this issue of a collection bin for CFL’s is a real issue, and this
is what I found (see below). Did I miss something, or is this all they
offered? Do we know what happens to them on the other end? Is this really
the best available option we have today?

As the winter holidays approach we
are getting requests from faith-based groups and multi-family locations for
"green" holiday socials and other special localized events. They
want to have special collections for unusual wastes such as CFL's batteries,
cell phones and the like. I have seen boxes designed to collect cell
phones without crashing them together. Anyone know of something similar
to collect CFL's and prevent breakage?
