    Nothing fishy. We recycle used flourescent lamps. Can't put them in landfills anymore.

    Basically, they are crushed, the aluminum caps are separated and the glass and phosphur powder are cooked at about 1200F to evaporated the mercury, which is captured and refined for reuse. The glass gets landfilled and everything else is reused.
