Thermostat Recycling Required for HVAC Contractors, Technicians
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A new law in Connecticut requires all mercury thermostats removed from service by HVAC contractors and technicians be recycled.
The law also requires HVAC wholesale distributors, with facilities in the state, to act as a collection point for waste mercury thermostats. Contractors and technicians may return mercury thermostats to any distributor for recycling, at no cost.
