Mercury in fluorescent tubes.

Don't have one but can tell you there's a very small amount of mercury in
fluorescent tubes and that "green" architectural practices recommend
special disposal procedures. Of course, we're talking about a whole lot of
tubes when it comes to commercial buildings so the amount of mercury adds
up.

You might consult your local or state solid waste disposal unit, especially
hazardous waste.
