Recycling the Tilt Switch
No Parts Required
Procedure
The tilt switch on your unit contains mercury,
a hazardous material. Mercury that is outside a
sealed container vaporizes at room temperature.
The vapors are harmful. Mercury can be absorbed
through the skin. Do not attempt to open or
repair this switch.
A very small amount of mercury is contained in
a hermetically sealed body. The steel switch is
then potted in a hard epoxy in a plastic case. It is
unlikely that the mercury will ever escape from the
enclosure. These high performance and reliable
inexpensive switches are recyclable. Mercury is an
important and beneficial compound but requires
special care in handling and disposal. When used
and managed properly, mercury is not a threat to
people or the environment. This information is
presented to users so that they are aware that these
switches contain mercury and will apply sound
disposal practices when these devices reach their
normal end of life or are damaged.
Several states have passed laws concerning the
disposal of devices containing mercury. In all the
remaining states it is advisable to follow similar
procedures. The laws state that these sealed
devices contain mercury and should not be placed
in the garbage until the mercury is removed and
reused, recycled or otherwise managed to insure
that it does not become part of solid waste or
waters. Management and disposal practices must
be within relevant federal, state or local laws.
If the switch is damaged or broken open use
extreme caution in handling. Call your local waste
management authority for instructions.
