Our Recycling Process Ensures Compliance

Mercury Waste Process

All materials received are manually inspected. Preprocessing steps recover valuable non-contaminated recyclables such as glass, metals, and plastics. The remaining contaminated mercury debris is then retorted under vacuum. Retort time, temperature and cycle are dependent upon the composition of material to be retorted. Mercury from the retort operations is collected in a system tank and from this tank, 76-pound or metric ton mercury flasks are filled. Mercury is accumulated and shipped to a mercury supply house for purification and packaged for resale.
