CFLs are hazardous waste, and need to be disposed of properly - not thrown in the trash. You can take dead CFLs to Home Depot, and they'll dispose of them properly, for free. On a related note, lots of electronics retailers accept dead rechargeable batteries for recycling.
I like LEDs where I only need a handful of lumens. I've got one lighting up my desk and keyboard. It's an LED sidemarker bulb in a Honda Insight socket, powered straight off my computer's +12V rail.
