    You might see if your dentist could use it. Amalgam fillings are still being done, though fewer than previously.

    Where you live should have a hazardous waste dropoff facility....check the phonebook or google it...mercury is very bad stuff, extremely toxic to people, pets, the environment in general....reminds me of a time though when I was a child and my Dad had a a container of mercury (don't have a clue why he had it or where he got it from!) but my brother and I were playing with it...bouncing it to see it form "balls" and stuff like that! I'm surprised we're still alive! Ah-h-h...the old memories just pop up at times.........(: tripping down memory lane...

    your so right about Mercury, very dangerous, we were given some to study when I was young, ended up being diagnosed with mercury poisoning some 20 years later, apparently it never leaves the system completely

    because murcury is the closet to the sun.

    if you want to dispose old mercury just throw it at the sun and your work is done.
