I hope Canada has a system in place for the disposal of all those CFL's. When the public starts tossing millions of those in the trash, and they break. The combined mercury content of all those bulbs is going to be a public saftey hazard.

@Vethraxx at the Local Dump the workers say "Toss and RUN fast" now that is beyond careless, its insane for the workers who stand there all day and demand nothing from senior staff. I spoke to the person in charge and they said that Recycle plants have more material to use then they can process, sometimes 80% recycle goes to the dump. If thats true what firm is going to want to separate Mecury & Glass? would think the CFL industry whos likely too cheep to bother raising their costs to do so

General Electric is the largest producer of these CFL light bulbs in the world. They are produced very in only China. GE has a very strong lobby in Washington which may ( and you can bet on it ) have caused this to become law. GE invested in the future by using payola to pass this law.

Everyone who has used these bulb knows that they do not light a room anywhere near as efficiently as an incandescent bulb.

Use LED's-they are better for the environment and last longer!

@Blaze1024 So you're upset that MOST ppl don't like CFLs .. In a way you are correct..there's not a lot of mercury in CFLs. However, these moron greenies warn ppl that one should properly dispose them when they burn out..realistically MOST ppl will not drive a cfl bulb around to dispose them..so all that "little mercury" will add to one huge mess..use ur brain

Fuck the Harper Gov. I will not use them. LED bulbs are best. They are not dangerous and last longer.

The Government don't care! They only care that they receive their theft and retail tax. Theft tax being the economy fees we have to pay on electronics. It's not fair that we now have to pay extra all for the sake of mother earth...now I just shoplift instead of paying those stupid taxes!
