4. Setting Attainable Goals
- Gradually replace the mercury in your facility with less harmful, nontoxic substitutes.
- Separate the mercury-containing waste from other materials slated for burning in medical waste incinerators and send this mercury to a licensed recycler. Liquid mercury, batteries, chemical compounds, and fluorescent lights are among the many products that can be safely recycled. Contact the recyclers in your area for collection procedures and costs.
