Hi all,

From what I've been told there are a number of states, counties and 
municipalities that not only won't allow mercury products to be disposed of 
within their confines, but prohibit even the generation of mercury wastes. 
So, there may be laws that apply to where you work as to whether you may use 
B5 even though you could pay a hazordous waste disposal company to haul it 
away. Hope this helps.

Tara
