I know the tip have a special section for bulbs because they are considered hazardous waste (at least the low energy ones and tubes are, which are the ones I've taken). Some time ago Robert Dyas started collecting bulbs, and last time I tried they still did, although you had to ask as they didn't have the bin out. I'm sure I've seen somewhere else doing this as well but can't completely remember where - B&Q I think. Perhaps try the Brockhampton (Havant) tip on your way to the next PLUG meet, it isn't too far off your route I don't think. -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | https://www.aptanet.com/ | 023 9238 0001 Vice Chair, FSB Portsmouth & SE Hampshire Branch | http://www.fsb.org.uk/ ============================================================================= Registered in England | Company No: 4905028 | Registered Office: Ralls House, Parklands Business Park, Forrest Road, Denmead, Waterlooville, Hants, PO7 6XP -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
