If you operate a business, then you probably are subject to the hazardous waste regulations (RCRA) for disposal of your wastes - many of which may be recycled (batteries, mercury, glass, wood, scrap metal, electronics, computers, and fluorescent lamps and their ballasts). Here is a list of companies that recycle fluorescent lights. It is sorted alphabetically by state, but many of the companies can offer services out of their state or local area.
