THERMOSTAT RECYCLING

The Thermostat Recycling Corporation (TRC) is a non-profit (501c6)1 stewardship organization that facilitates and manages the collection and proper disposal of mercury-containing thermostats. Originally founded in 1998 by Honeywell, White-Rodgers, and General Electric as a voluntary venture, we established our mission to promote the safe collection and proper disposal of mercury-containing thermostats. Currently, 30 manufacturers support the program. Our members' continuing financial support demonstrates their commitment to a cleaner environment. Our collective goal is simple: keep mercury out of the waste stream in order to protect the environment... Our network of collection sites consists of HVAC wholesale distributors and HVAC contractors. In 2006, we expanded our program to include household hazardous waste collection sites and thermostat retailers.
