Anyone?
Are you supposed to recycle them? How?

Don't they contain mercury, which releases toxins....
That's what I am confused about.
I would recycle them, I just don't know where to do that.

Throw them out, but be careful. If one breaks, you have to evacuate your home until the gas dissapates. I put them directly into the outside garbage can.

thanks. I don't live in NY, though. I guess I'll call city management or something.

The local HOME DEPOT collects them to send to recycle. They also collect batteries.
