We have a transfer station here where you can bring hazardous waste and recycleables.
Bringing the long tubes there is a pain, but I do it. I have lots of long cardboard tubes around to put them in.
Before that, I used to put them in a cardboard tube and whack it, when the dust 'settled' , slide the mess into the garbage, being careful not to inhale the mercury, cadmium and lead 'dusts'.
I have almost a gallon of mercury to bring some day.
