Fluorescent – thing of the past. Can’t find bulbs, flicker in cold weather, spare tubes take up space, housings are too bulky. Can’t get rid of the tubes.

I recently tried to give some brand new, unused tubes to the local hardware store.  They wouldn't take them, but the guy told me a trick to make disposal safer.  There is a soft spot on the ends between the prongs.  Stick an Ice pick / scratch awl on the soft spot and tap it with a hammer.  That breaks the vacuum so the gas won't fly around so much when the tube is broken.
