Having trouble finding a location or event in your area to drop off Think Green From Home provides mail-in recycling options for these products.

The site allows you to order recycling kits online, with battery and CFL kits currently available for $14.95. This cost covers the kit, postage and any recycling costs. The CFL kits are designed to lock in any vaporized mercury in case of a broken bulb. You get a certificate emailed to you when the products are recycled.

You can also order kits to recycle full-size fluorescent bulbs for $59.95. Think Green From Home is looking to add a similar mail-in option for small electronics soon.
