Banish Mercury Off the Planet Contest Launches
Thermostat Recycling Corporation has launched its 12th annual Banish Mercury Off the Planet competition. The contest recognizes members of Heating Air-Conditioning Refrigeration Distributors International that collect the most mercury-containing thermostats.
The BMOP contest begins May 1 and concludes Oct. 31.
HARDI members do not have to sign up to enter the contest. They only have to return thermostats collected through the green bins TRC places in HARDI wholesale member branches throughout the United States.
The contest recognizes winners in three categories:
- Distributor that recycles the most pounds of mercury overall.
- Distributor that recycles the highest average pounds of mercury (total pounds divided by branch count locations that submitted a collection bin).
- Distributor with the highest participation rate (for distributors with more than 10 locations).
TRC will announce the winners of each category at HARDI’s annual conference, Dec. 2-5 in Phoenix. Arizona.
