I’m sooooo glad!! I’ve been using the battery disposal by security for years but I have been collecting those light tubes in my bedroom closet for ages – I think I have about 10 of them!
Too bad they won’t take microwaves. I had an ancient beast from the 80’s that finally broke last year, and it’s been sitting in a corner of my dining room ever since
At least it’s serving a purpose: It is currently a “shelf” for my towers of canned organic cat food, and where kitty sits when he wants to tell me it’s feeding time =^^=
