Participant Options:*


Select this option if your business collects thermostats as part of your regular operations, and/or you would like to allow local residents and small businesses to dispose of their old thermostats in your collection pails. If you select this option, your business will be listed in our Public Drop-Off Location lookup directory on our website.

This option is ideal for HVACR Wholesalers, Contractors, recycling centers, and municipal depots, particularly those located in rural areas.


Select this option if your business collects thermostats as part of your regular operations, however would like to keep your thermostat collection exclusive to your customer.

This option is ideal for HVACR Contractors and Wholesalers for their exclusive use.


Select this option if you are unable to get to a Public Drop-Off Location, and/or would like to receive a one-time shipment of a small collection pail, which holds roughly four (4) thermostats.

This option is ideal for consumer's use on a one-time basis.

Still unsure which option is the best for you?
