A method for mitigating mercury vapor emissions during storing, staging, handling and transportation of an unbroken mercury containing universal waste lamp. The method includes the step of: placing the unbroken mercury containing universal waste lamp wholly within a container for storage, staging, handling or transportation. The container has an opening for allowing the unbroken mercury containing universal waste lamp to be placed wholly within the container. The container also has impervious wall structure for preventing mercury vapors from passing therethrough. The method also includes the step of: placing a predetermined amount of an activated carbon media having an affinity for mercury vapors within the container to passively adsorb mercury vapors escaping from incidental breakage of the mercury containing universal waste lamp. The next step involves closing the opening in the container such that when the container is closed the container is substantially airtight and vapors are prevented from passing from an interior to an exterior of said container and wherein the predetermined amount of activated carbon media within the closed container furthermore mitigates mercury vapors from inadvertently escaping from the container when the container is again opened
