Mercury Thermostat Recycling Program Expands Nationwide
On April 11, 2007, the Thermostat Recycling Corporation (TRC) and the Product Stewardship Institute (PSI) announced the nationwide rollout of a mercury thermostat recycling program designed for household hazardous waste (HHW) collection facilities. This program expands a successful 8-month pilot project in which 50 municipal HHW facilities in five states safely recycled mercury thermostats from residents and their heating and cooling contractors free of charge.
To take advantage of the national program, homeowners can visit Earth911.com to locate their nearest HHW facility in their area. Residents can also contact their local, municipal household waste management authorities for information on recycling locations. View the press release.
