Went to one in Shreveport once. The huge line was not moving, and I have no idea why. We got out of our cars and started shooting the bull.

Nice guy in a truck volunteered to take all the stuff from those of us who just had a little. He’s probably still in that line.

The inefficiency guaranteed I will never return. That shite is going in the trash.

Where can you dispose of mercury?

Skip the BR ones. Both the one at LSU and the other one at Memorial Stadium are hell in terms of lines. (Also hell for the volunteers). Memorial is slightly better than LSU. The LSU one often has students that volunteer and then vanish by 10:00.

Wait until you see the West Baton Rouge on in Brusly. It's worth the drive to not have that wait.

EPA has a protocol but unless you’ve drained ballast at a plant or a lighthouse, all you have are lightbulbs and thermometers.

Go outside and crush that shite in a garbage can.

Elemental mercury vaporizes at close to room temperature.

It will go back to where it came from, Earth’s surface.

I thought they did a pretty good job today. There were hundreds of cars and the lines kept moving. Took about 45 mins but once I was at the drop off point, the volunteers did everything.

I have a bottle that weighs one pound.. I called around a few places and do not get serious answers…

Been sitting on the shelf since I was a kid.. I use to play with it and let it roll around on a piece of paper and let it come back together …. Like in the movie terminator.. use to polish my buffalo nickels with it also…

Use to do a lot of things as a kid that my wife can not understand how I am alive:)

My late uncle had it and my grandmother gave it to me when I was a kid.
