people are also advised to wear protective gloves while wiping the area of the break with a damp cloth and picking up fragments of glass – which should be placed in a plastic bag and sealed, the advice then states the light bulb should be taken to a council dump and placed in a special recycling bank because councils do not collect hazardous waste, that should get the greenies and tree huggers in a tizz, every time a bulb blows jump in the car and drive to the council dump to hand it in, but I digress, the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs confirmed many councils will not collect the bulbs, a spokesman said last night, in a complete reversal of it's own advice, ‘If a low-energy light bulb breaks, the mercury contained in it does not pose a health risk to anyone exposed,’ the thing I do not understand is why a prime minister would sign a piece of paper putting so many people at risk to so dangerous a product that binmen will not go near it? as I mentioned before Joseph Wilson Swan must be turning in his grave!
