For further education, browse the web for other states position on the subject, for example, California.  Enough already, this is a waste of time.  Believe as you wish.

What's your favorite glow plug?  Mine is a K&B 1L...

    And how exactly would you certify that you had cleaned up the spill successfully if you do it on your own?  Aside from the documented and obvious health risks from exposure, what future legal liabilities do you open yourself up to from a spill on your premises?  What happens if you later sell you home without having hired a professional for cleanup, and the new owner discovers mercury levels due to your negligence? Yes, this is what I want in an electric bulb.

    Anyway, this is getting way off topic, but putting lipstick on a pig doesn't really do all that much to fix it up. Here's what the Peoples Republic of NJ has to say about it:

    Ed, the link you posted is for the cleanup of liquid mercury, as in a thermometer. CFL typically do not contain liquid mercury it is in either vapor or a diffused dust inside the bulb so what you posted does not apply to CFL bulbs.

  This may help some:
