How are light bulbs recycled? by Curiosity Quest Goes Green

Did you know that light bulbs can be recycled and made into new products? Join the host of Curiosity Quest Goes Green, Joel Greene as he explores the Lighting Resources facility in Texas to learn how they collect old light bulbs. Then they dump them all into an incredible machine that breaks them apart, safely collects the mercury, chops, cleans, and separates them. Lastly, Greene follows the crushed light bulb remnants to a Glass Recycled in Texas to watch the process of mixing the recycled light bulbs in with recycled glass to create gorgeous counter tops and flooring.

They're all reaching into that bin of broken glass amazing they don't have any cuts!!! I noticed them dropping The CFL's into a 55 gallon drum with an open top of the point of that you're not capturing any of the Mercury vapor. Please tell me how that works if you're not capturing any of the Mercury!!!

That's why you have someone crazy enough to make such a video. He's been inhaling mercury for far too long.
