Some fluorescents that contain high levels of mercury I understand but I need specifics and I'm having little luck aside from how to recycle them but that doesn't apply.

Certain light bulbs CAN be recycled at specific locations you bring them to. Google it. I promise you'll find locations in almost e every state.
You cannot leave them on the curb for pick up.

All Incandecent bulbs are hazardous for Air shipment because it tends to explode when subjected to lower, and implode when subjected to higher atmospheric pressure, as the bulb itself is a vacumm vessel that houses the filaments. This is basically the reason why it is hazardous for air shipment as cargoes flies out in a area of the aircraft that is not pressurized.

All fluorescent light bulbs are hazardous materials that require special handling. They cannot be recycled. They must be disposed of by professionals.
