State and Local Mercury Collection/ Recycling/Exchange Programs
Safe Mercury Management Information
SMM HomeIn addition to enacting mercury-related legislation, many states and local agencies have developed collection/exchange programs for mercury-containing devices, such as thermometers, manometers, thermostats, and fluorescent light bulbs.
Some of these programs include free collection and replacement of mercury containing devices and others have employed a bounty approach to the collection of mercury containing devices. In many instances, the collection programs involve collaboration among state agencies, communities, and businesses.
