Whatever you do, don't put it in your mouth.

This reminds me of a joke...
Q: What's the difference between an oral and a rectal thermometer?
A: The taste. ;-)

Clean it with alcohol and put KY on it before insertion. Clean it again after use and make sure it is only used for rectal temps.

Is this one of those test questions?
Cuz if it is, well you guys got me!
If it isn't:
Household Hazardous Waste Collection Events
Mercury products and compounds must be recycled or managed as a hazardous waste, State law prohibits the disposal of mercury-containing wastes in solid waste landfills. Households have a low to no-cost method to properly handle mercury and battery products at the end of their useful life. Towns and solid waste districts hold hazardous waste collection events every year and mercury-containing wastes should be disposed of at one of these events.
Contact your town or county and ask about the proper way to dispose of hazardous waste.
Good Luck

Use alcohol to clean it, alcohol on a cotton ball & wipe clean. Identify it as rectal!

If its a mercury thermometrer of any kind, call your local fire dept and see if they know where it can be disposed of properly. DO NOT just throw it away as mercury is a poison. Not real clear what you are asking, hope this helps.
