[GreenYes] Fluorescent Lighting Ballasts - are they recyclable?

["Chris Sparnicht" <chris@grrn.org>]

Hello GreenYes,

I've just replaced a fluorescent lighting ballast
from one of our 4 foot fluorescent light fixtures.
(It looks like a black metal 
brick and is about as heavy.)
Can burnt out ballasts be recycled,
and if so, where?

Chris
