Fluorescent lamps and older household thermostats contain
mercury --
a toxic heavy metal that can pollute our waterways and cause serious human health problems when it enters the environment. Recycling these products is an easy way to prevent the health and
environmental impacts of this dangerous metal. On this free webinar, PSI's expert speakers will explore the successes, challenges, and lessons learned from safe mercury product management initiatives nationwide, particularly in rural areas.
-
What collection programs currently exist, and how do they work?
-
How do regulatory programs, mandated by extended producer responsibility laws, compare to voluntary programs?
-
What outreach and other strategies are most effective in increasing rural thermostat and fluorescent lamp collection?
-
How can we expand outreach to different stakeholder groups, including contractors, utility companies, building owners and managers, universities, and others?
Speakers with years of experience will cover these questions and more. Complete with an ample Q&A period, this webinar will leave you with
a list of tangible techniques for increasing collection of mercury products in your community.
