Don't quote me on this because I only covered the topic briefly in some applied classes before doing 6 years of research, but if I remember correctly, you grab it with long tweezers and dump it in a shielded "garbage can" type container. And fill tons of paperwork that involves estimating the radiation dose delivered to everyone that could've been exposed. And probably present a post mortem at conferences about how you dealt with it.
