POPSCompact Flourescents - Save Money? Used in the correct manner, (i.e. left on for 15 minutes each time and not used in anything described below) the direct energy saving may be much less than claimed – more like 25-30 per cent than 75 per cent.

POPSIkea offers free recycling of CFL bulbs By now most of us have heard about CFL bulbs and their energy savings. I saw them on sale for just 67 cents at Wal-Mart today. They last for years, and are a frugalite's dream come true. The problem comes when they finally do burn out. Most contain mercury, which we don't want in our landfills. Now Ikea offers free recycling of CFL bulbs in their stores. From their site: "Bring your used mercury containing lightbulbs to the IKEA store for free disposal. Since our CFL bulbs contain a small amount of mercury, they should not be simply tossed out. IKEA offers the perfect solution: a ‘Free Take Back’ program offering recycle bins in all IKEA stores. Or for lamp disposal information for your state, please go to www.lamprecycle.org to obtain more information." Link
