Mercury Collection Program

The Barnstable County Hazardous Materials Program has coordinated mercury collection programs on Cape Cod since 2001. Residents and businesses in every town on Cape Cod participate in this program by recycling mercury-containing devices at transfer stations and recycling centers. Residents and businesses can also bring mercury devices (except for bulbs) to Household Hazardous Products Collections held in Cape Cod towns.
