It's interesting. Whenever I'd run amalgams, I've often found elemental mercury at the base of the flask or beaker. This, unlike the salts, is rather easily recovered.

:Or just fish out the amalgam-coated pieces of aluminium with forceps or a frit. I rewrote to focus on the simple fact that there is mercury and its intrinsic issues rather than difficulties in manipulating the specific Hg-containing materials here.
