Please refer to the DEP BMP for Dental Amalgam at

Shipping Scrap Amalgam
Follow these requirements when shipping scrap amalgam
to a mercury reclamation facility:
1. Dental offices that ship less than two pounds of scrap
amalgam (one pound of mercury) per container are not
required to meet any DOT regulations.
2. Written records, including the name and address of the
dental office shipping the scrap amalgam, the amount
shipped, the date of the shipment and the name and
address of the reclamation facility receiving the shipment,
must be retained for three years.
3. If the shipping container contains two pounds or more
of scrap amalgam (one pound of mercury), it is regulated
as a DOT Class 9 hazardous substance. In this case,
a mercury reclamation facility should provide the
needed documentation to meet all necessary DOT shipping
requirements.

Is there a list of dental amalgam recyclers?  Is this something that could be mailed or shipped UPS?

Thanks, Dwayne
