> Don't even get me started on trying to dispose of long fluorescent tubes.

I replaced those in my garage with some LED lights, long overdue. I put the light fixtures on the curb a scrapper came and picked them up quickly...but left all the lights.

I found out the local Home Depot took them on certain days, so I loaded them up in the van. The wrong way to do it would be to put a long strip of packaging tape along the light and smash it...then put it in a bag.

I'm here wondering how "wrong" that wrong way would be... I have a few tubes to get rid of as well, and my local trash/recycle drop-off won't take them.
Works on my machine. Even w/o the tape.
