Where can I sell/recycle Mercury/Hg.?

• I have a considerable amount that I have saved over the years and would like to know where I can sell it.

• Answer:

  Mercury is highly toxic, not only to you as an individual, but also to the environment. If you are talking about the shiny stuff that I am thinking, contact your local hazardous materials department so that you can find somewhere where to drop it off. Whatever you do, do not dump it. It disperse into the environment ending up in our waters and fish. I found this number that you can call for information 800-309-9908 Here I got the following from webMD Each mercury thermometer contains approximately one gram of mercury. One gram of mercury per year deposited in a 20-acre lake is enough to raise the levels of mercury in fish high enough to trigger consumption advisories. Nationwide, mercury fever thermometers contribute 17 tons of mercury to the solid waste stream annually. "The reason fish have become so contaminated is that there is so much mercury in the environment and that's due to owning and improperly discarding mercury thermometers and sometime, batteries," Shannon tells WebMD.
