| Mercury Switches | (Last Updated: 1/16/2019) |
Hazardous Waste. Free Drop-Off Recycling. Some older electrical switches contain mercury, which is hazardous to human and environmental health. Do not put these in the garbage.
Signs you may have a mercury switch:
- Small amount of silver liquid (mercury) inside a glass vial.
- Wall switch that doesn't make an audible "click" sound when activated (silent switch).
- Small tubes with electrical contacts at one end of the tube.
- "TOP" is stamped on the upper end of the switch, under the cover plate.
Information listed here is for HOUSEHOLD ITEMS ONLY. View business, non-profit, and agency information. |

Rethink | Mercury is a potent neurotoxin. Washington State law requires that all mercury-containing products be recycled to prevent mercury from entering the environment and threatening human health. |
