WOW, Thank you so much.. i’ve been holding on to these bulbs now for months… Been starting a collection underneath my sink..
Been asking around for a while too!
Thank you!
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Mark Von Holden.
No one I talked to seemed to know what to do with those used or broken CFLs. Enjoyed taking a look at your photography.
