They're basically giving them away. If they make them free, that's an invitation for trouble, but make it a few bucks a piece and they avoid the disposal charge.
They contain mercury, so if they can't sell them, they have to PAY to dispose of them as a commercial hazardous waste generator. Some states allow consumers to dispose of CFLs in the trash or have a place that take 'em for free. It is usually unlawful in most states for large businesses to dispose of mercury containing lamps in the trash with a huge EPA fine to go with it and they're usually not eligible for free disposal from municipalities.
If they don't sell, they have to pay disposal + shipping. If you buy them below cost, you pay shipping and they don't deal with haz-mat disposal.
