Contractor's Pledge
The Pledge
We pledge to work with IDEM and our heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration contractor (HVAC-R) supplier to keep mercury out of the environment in order to protect the quality of Indiana's air, land and water. We understand that the properties of mercury that make it a useful component in thermostats - high conductivity and liquidity at room temperature - can also harm the environment.
Our company is committed to protecting the environment. Therefore, we, the undersigned Indiana HVAC-R contractor, have established these goals to minimize the impact of mercury thermostats on the environment and encourage our customers to conduct sound environmental practices.
Pledge
To achieve these goals, we pledge to participate in the Indiana Department of Environmental Management's Mercury Thermostat Reduction and Recycling Program. As a participant in this program we will:
- Educate the public on the hazards of mercury and encourage their participation in this program,
- Encourage the Indiana public to replace unusable or unwanted mercury-containing thermostats with digital or mercury-free thermostats,
- Ensure that mercury-containing thermostats are returned to a participating supplier for recycling with the Thermostat Recycling Corporation, and
- Keep a supply of digital or mercury-free thermostats on hand.
