Those weird bulbs are called compact fluorescent lamps or CFLs. They are energy-efficient light bulbs that contain a small amount of mercury, which is toxic to humans and the environment. they should never be thrown away in the household trash.
Your local dump or transfer station will (usually) have an attendant who knows how they deal with them.
Gotcha. I guess these will just live in the box with my old batteries forever.
I got rid of hundreds of pounds of old batteries at my community electronics recycling event this year. See if your community has one.
Your Home Depot probably has a bin for them.
