LED's do not contain mercury. You must have been thinking about the CFL (compact fluorescent bulb). CFL's do contain mercury like any other flourescent bulb. LED's are not considered toxic and may be disposed of in normal household trash.
 
Occasionally there will be recycling fairs for household hazardous materials such as LED and fluorescent bulbs, CRT televisions, batteries, old appliances, and empty propane tanks. These are usually held at firehouses. Check your local government TV station if your municipality has one, or else call your refuse disposal company.
