This doesn't make sense

Why is it that the new energy efficient lightbulbs come in non-recyclable packaging?

I know I've gotten some before that came in a long cardboard 4-pack. I'll try to figure out if I got them at Target or maybe at Home Depot.

And how about all the hoopla about having to dispose of them as hazardous material because of the mercury in them. It's a little scary because I have a feeling there will be a lot of people just tossing them into the trash, ending up in the landfills.

But they sure are nice in those hard-to-reach fixtures since you don't have to change them for a LONG time!
