Urgent: Where to dispose a broken mercury thermometer?

Hi

Unfortunately our mercury thermometer was broken just now, I put the head part which contains all the mercury into a closed bottle.
Where I should dispose it?

Thanks!

You can take it to the Apteekki, they'll take care of it - also old medicines etc.
