Apparatus for collecting spilled liquid mercury comprising a container and a pad of nonrigid, open-cell foam material for entrapping drops of spilled mercury to permit the transferring of the mercury to the container for release of the mercury therefrom for collection in the container. The pad entraps the spilled mercury when it is compressed against a surface having drops of mercury thereon and holds the mercury within the pad when it is lifted clear of the surface. A perforate plate is mounted in the container spaced above the bottom thereof so as to support the pad when the pad is pressed downwardly thereagainst to effect compression of the pad and release of the mercury entrapped within the pad. A lid is removably secured to the mouth of the container. The container's height is such that a space is provided between the perforate plate and the undersurface of the lid sufficient to permit the pad to rest in a stored position on the perforate plate without compression of the pad.
