Tittle says it all, as you've already discovered it will cost you to dispose of your mercuryQuote:

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.
