What do you guys do with used projector lamps?

Most contain mercury and it is unethical (And illegal) to dispose of improperly (landfill)

I have googled and there are many recyclers that take CFLs but typically are not set up for projector lamps.

local county haz mat wants $10 per lamp fee. I have 10 of them (various brands). Not really wanting to pay $100 to dispose of a batch of them.
Chasing Ernie's post count, one useless post at a time.

We store up things and wait for the annual recycle day when the county takes stuff at no charge. Paint, batteries, electronics, etc. Your area may have such a day??

Sell it on ebay or amazon marked as "slightly used" that's what the other guys seem to do. . .

Not sure if you've tried this...

Google Projector Bulb Disposal (or Recycling) followed by your city and state. This usually turns up some local website with a variety of different recyclers, and then you need to call to determine which ones take it, and if there is a cost.

I know there are others that do this via mail for free, but it will cost you the postage. Just drop the city and state from your search, to find mail-in projector bulb disposal or recycling.
