The Board of Health has a program for the recycling of
elemental mercury. Any resident who wishes to dispose of
an item which contains mercury, such as fever thermometers,
mercury barometers, blood pressure cuffs, thermostats, mercury
switches, etc., may do so by bringing the items to the Board of Health
Office during regular working hours. Anyone who brings in a mercury
fever thermometer can get a new digital thermometer for no charge.
Fluorescent lamps may be recycled at Aubuchon Hardware
Main Street (Route 38) in Tewksbury
