Where can I take my CFL bulbs to be recycled?
I installed 20 CFL bulbs in my house in 2007 and 10 of them have burned out as of May 2012. They do not last nearly as long as the long life Halco bulbs in the rest of my house and the Halco bulbs cost less than half of the CFC bulbs. Anyway, I know that these CFLs contain mercury and would be dangerous to put into the trash and go into landfills I believe a majority of Americans will just throw them in the trash to possibly contaminate the groundwater. My local hardware stores will take the long fluorescent bulbs for recycling but will not take the CFLs and they did not seem to know where I would take them. One guy in one of the stores said to " just throw them in the garbage" but if the government is going to make us start using these things, it looks like they would do something so people could recycle them because they are not lasting like they are supposed to and a couple of them smoked and one had the foulest odor that we had to leave the house and take out pets outside because it was 100 times worse than a skunk. I have been hording incandescent bulbs I have about 200 and am replacing the CFL bulbs with old incandescent bulbs because they neither smoke not stink nor contain mercury and I can throw them in the trash.There is no local council. The commissioners are not concerned with environmental issues and have set up nothing to help.
What will happen to all the recycled papers?
I have a lot of papers that I want to get rid of. like at least 500 most of them contain private stuff like bank accounts, my name, numbers, passwords so I don't want people to read them. I can't feed all these papers to a shredder because it will take hours... So my question is, what will happen to these papers after they are thrown into these green trucks? Is someone eventually gonna look through them I know it's highly unlikely consider the amount of all the papers recycled. But just in case...Is it safer then to put them in regular garbage?thanks

Reduce, reuse, and recycle?
okay, i'm doing some research on the environment. Honestly, i do feel like doing a change around the area. I feel like Earth needs some more supervision and care. You see liter everyday i think that's horrid we need mor community service. More environmental clubs. More manicuring the yards and fields. Trash is everywhere. We need more biodegradeble plastics. I need some more information reducing, reusing and recycling. I feel that this act is sooo crucial, but how does it all work?

How much per bottle for recycling wine bottles?
If I dropped off a bunch of wine bottles at a recycle center, how much can I get per bottle?I live in wine country and, since it's part of the culture here, I have access to a lot of empty bottles. If I can exchange them for cash, then I'd just as soon do that rather than leaving them at the curb with the rest of the recyclables.Thank you.
