LED bulbs

Anybody know how to properly dispose of burnt out LED bulbs?

Throw them in with shred?

Throw them away with the household trash?

Take them to a hazardous waste disposal?

I put my led bulbs in with the shred same with incandescent and halogen bulbs. I take any Florent tunbes and twist bulbs to Lowes or home depot for recycling.

Disposability rules vary from location to location. Check with someone in your area.
Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).

NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.

Very true. But if they tell me ok to put in the trash I put the item in with the shred. Like alkaline batteries.
