After February 8th, 2006, all fluorescent lamps in California must be recycled.
(Title 22, division 4.5, chapter 11, section 66261.50)

All fluorescent lamps and tubes are considered hazardous waste in California when they are discarded because they contain mercury. (Title 22, division 4.5, chapter 11, section 66261.50) This includes:

Fluorescent lamps and tubes
High Intensity Discharge (HID) Lamps

When mercury-containing lamps or tubes are placed in the trash and collected for disposal, the lamps or tubes are broken and mercury is released to the environment. Mercury vapors from broken lamps or tubes can be absorbed through the lungs into the bloodstream. People who are particularly close to the breakage are especially at risk. Mercury from broken lamps and tubes can also be washed by rain water into waterways.

Stringent Lamp Disposal Law in New York State
(New York State Law: Effective July 12, 2005)

As of July 12, 2005, the State of New York now prohibits all mercury-containing lamps from being discarded. No exemptions are allowed except for households and small businesses with less than 100 employees and with less than 15 lamps per month. The new law primarily affects generators of low-mercury or "green end cap" lamps. These lamps are not mercury free and must be recycled or managed by an authorized facility in accordance with the Mercury-Added Consumer Products Law. All businesses and households are strongly encouraged to recycle their mercury-containing lamps.
