I’ve just been to the web site of the company that owns this lorry. They recycle lamps. It says ‘Did you know…

That the mercury from just one fluorescent tube can pollute 30,000 litres of water beyond a safe level for drinking? … Makes you think!’

So I guess we had better be a bit careful in days to come after the recycling lorry shed and smashed hundreds of fluorescent tubes all over the Vineyard.
