Tittle says it all, as you've already discovered it will cost you to dispose of your mercuryOriginally Posted by Kulakoms
You can sell it with a little luck. There is one buyer on the forum in Wisconsin who sometimes buys it. But first make sure it is completely sealed. Then check again. Then check again and again and again. Mercury is toxic and you should not handle it at all if possible. Most scrapyards don't deal in mercury because it's toxic and difficult to acquire sufficient quantities to make a sale. Try the buyer in Wisconsin on this site or google

I think that I remember an old thread where some members were interested to buy some. I am not sure, but it was for precious metals exploration or extraction, I can't remember. Anyway, I don't think that it was very environmentally friendly. Maybe it can be accepted in your local hazmat collections and it is always a great idea to use the search tool and look at the older threads. Lots of info available.
NEW TO SCRAPPING? READ THIS: Build up your horde of magnetic and non-magnetic metals in two piles until you have a better understanding of the business. Magnetic material has low value and is mostly always steel / shred / short iron. Read old threads about non-magnetic metals and ewaste (and how to sort them), but don't forget that they generally have absolutely no tolerance for contamination (screw / iron / foreign material).
