Title: Safe disposal (mercury compounds)?
Post by: Wuttejvtaogggrs on August 14, 2020, 07:44:08 PM
Hi - What is the best way to dispose of mercuric oxide, mercuric iodide, and mercuric nitrate?  I have a small (1 pound) container of each.

A lot depends on where you live. In most places in the world there are firms specializing in disposal of chemicals.

Your local government probably also has guidelines about what to do with disposal of hazardous materials. Check their website.
