The Multi-State Mercury Products Campaign, with the help of $220,000 in grants from The New York Community Trust, has recently gotten a bill passed into law.

The legislation requires thermostat manufacturers to collect 15,500 thermostats in 2015, and calls upon the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to establish annual collection goals thereafter.
