What to do with a broken mercury-free thermometer? Is it toxic?

Good morning, I broke the non-library thermometer, intec company. I wanted to ask about how to clean up the leftovers and about the potential toxicity. Thank you.

The alloy of metals (indium, gallium and tin) used in the mercury-free thermometer post is safe for health. In case of breakage of such a thermometer, you should simply wipe the liquid residue with a wet cloth and thoroughly clean the broken glass. They can normally be disposed of in the garbage, like ordinary household waste.
