    Boss once had me fill a dumpster with old halogen flourescent bulbs. Probably 90% of them shattered in the process. Then it turns out that was the wrong dumpster so we had to shovel all the broken bits into another. Didn’t learn they had mercury in them for a decade. I was 15. So that’s cool, wonder what that did.

        Sorry I meant “flourescent” apparently. It was this kind. My uncle’s business was moving into an office that was some 1970s government office and somehow I got roped into the re-fit.
