Default CFL Light Bulbs

Is there a collection center in the Laconia area where we can drop off spent CFL light bulbs or do we have to hang onto them until the hazardous waste collection day comes around next July? They are touted to last much longer than the incandescent ones but I am finding they are not. If you happen to drop one and it breaks, I understand you can't touch it as they are very dangerous because of the mercury they contain. I didn't know what I was getting into when I purchased these things, but had read they were no longer going to manufacture the incandescent bulbs. If there are no convenient places where people can drop them off, I can only imagine most of them end up in the trash.
