Recycle | Recycle mercury thermostats for free. To determine if your thermostat contains a mercury switch, remove the front cover. Once the cover is removed you should be able to locate one or more glass ampoules (switches) that contain a silver liquid (mercury). This photograph shows the glass ampoule which contains mercury. Take the entire mercury thermostat to the Kitsap County Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Facility. See facility hours at the website below. Package products carefully for transportation. |
