Mercury Thermometer/Thermostat
Recycling
The Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County (SWANCC) and select member communities
offer residents a recycling program for mercury-containing thermometers, thermostats and wall
switches. Mercury poses health and environmental risks. Mercury-containing products should be
recycled whenever possible. Old thermometers contain up to 700 milligrams of mercury, 140 times
more than a CFL.
The following communities provide drop-off locations for mercury thermometers, wall switches and
thermostats. Please note that any resident that lives in a member community (SWANCC residents) are eligible to utilize
this program.
Mercury may also be taken to Household Chemical Waste collection sites for disposal.
