Home Depot has a program to collect compact flourescent bulbs at all of their stores- you might want to look at a corporate tie-in to your program.
Also, I know that a few military bases in Alberta were collecting all their flourescent bulbs, extracting the mercury and selling both the mercury and the coated glass. The glass went to companies that make the reflective paint for road lines and signs. No point in designing a collection program without looking at the future markets for the materials.
