Yeah, I Googled it.
We broke a thermometer.
I've completed the regular clean up, but want to dust with sulphur or zinc.
Does Home Depot sell that stuff?
We had a thread about this a couple of years ago. Will see if I can find it.

Looks like a pharmacy might take it.
Some information on clean-up indicating sulfur can be purchased at garden centers.
I'm not getting any results searching the Home Depot site. You might call them or a garden center or a pharmacy.
I remember growing up in the '40's when we were allowed to play with the mercury from broken thermometers--provided we hadn't smashed them on purpose.
My brother and I played with elemental Mercury as late as the mid-70s.
I'm not terribly worried about it; I just want to soak up anything that got into a crack.
Using tape to pick up the little beads of Mercury was cool....
