There was or may still is a guide on a official eu website what you are supposed to do when you break a CFL at home.

It involved having special full body clothing, removing all other people from the room/place and other creepy things.

Once I've told people that they happily bought the then 50$ led bulbs. Usually at least.

How are you supposed to get rid of a CFL if it doesn't break? I'd happily do it if there were a reasonable option.

In recycling crazy Germany, most recycling yards will take your old CFLs at no cost [0].
