Re: What would you do? please asap

If you break a fluorescent light bulb, use these cleanup procedures:

• Sweep or wipe up the glass fragments and white powder.
• Wipe the area with a damp paper towel to pick up tiny pieces of glass or fine particles.
• If the bulb breaks on a rug or carpet, use sticky tape (such as duct tape) to pick up small pieces and powder. Vacuuming should be avoided as it spreads mercury through the air. If vacuuming is necessary, remove the vacuum bag or empty and wipe the canister with paper towel after the area is cleaned.
• Double bag the broken pieces, paper towel and vacuum bag and dispose of it in an outdoor trash can for regular garbage pick up.
• None of the cleanup up parts should be placed in an incinerator.
