www.recylehawii.org is the place for waste answers! (Oh, we have changed over to the more "ECO Friendly" LED bulb...NO mercury to worry about if the bulbs break....)
Fluorescent tubes and CFLs can be taken to the Hazardous Waste collections (Sept. 3 was the new Household Hazardous Waste Collection event scheduled at the Waiohinu Transfer Station
The regular Haz waste pickups are twice a year, June & Dec in Hilo & Kona. The Dec info is:
Hilo Transfer Station: December 3 • 7:30 AM-2:30 PM
Kealakehe Transfer Station: December 10 • 7:30 AM-2:30 PM

There is a new E-waste place, Mr Ks on the corner of Kinoole & Hualalai (right now there is a slight cost for proper disposal of TV's & CRTs):

The bin at Home Depot is next to the returns counters.
