Call around, you might find that any seller of tubes is required to accept burnt out lamps as a condition of business.
Such laws typically apply to used motor oil or dead lead-acid batteries, too.
These requirements are normally imposed to stop random disposal of heavy metals/ motor oils that could find their way into the water supply.
