How to safely dispose of mercury thermometers

Safely dispose thermometers for free at a household hazardous waste drop-off location:

  • Designated fire hall
  • City Eco Centre - if you bring other garbage, charges will apply.

Special instructions

  • Put thermometer in a non-breakable sealed container (e.g. plastic bleach bottle).
  • Clearly label the bottle "thermometer or mercury".
  • Call 911 if a thermometer, thermostat or wall-mounted blood pressure cuff is broken and mercury is released.
