How can I get rid of old thermometers and TV bulbs that contain Mercury? The guy who owned the house before us had a stash of them in the garage. I want to get rid of them but there is a lot! I was hoping for an earthday drop off this year but they didn%26#039;t have one!! Where else can I get rid of them at? I have like a hundred of them so I am afriad if I take it to a somewhere they would want me to pay to get rid of them.

I am in Philadelphia if that helps.

I called the city and they didn%26#039;t know!!!

It is very convenient because you do not need to leave your house or call around to find someplace to take them! http://veoliaes-ts.com/RecyclePak

look for a hazardous waste disposal site most cities have them contact the waste management section of the city they should know or look in the yellow pages for hazardous waste disposal

Contact your local Dept of Public Works. They should have locations that take it.
