Thanks for that. I have a couple 8 ft. tubes to recycle and the local transfer stations won't accept them. I wonder if these are actually carefully recycled or if most end up in the landfills just like the vast majority of recyclable plastics that go into the plastic recycle bins?

They do have a hazardous waste recycling center but it's not free to drop off fluorescents. They will take some items for free.

I tried them. They charge a dollar per foot.
