Mercury Recovery Program
Pepperell DPW and Board of Health
As of May 2008, it is illegal to dispose of products containing mercury in the trash, either through the use of the Town's Transfer Station or private collection services. The most common items in which mercury is found are fluorescent light bulbs, thermostats, thermometers, and button-cell batteries.
The DPW and the Board of Health together are implementing a plan to keep mercury out of the environment by providing a way to properly recycle these products. You can recycle (at no charge) fluorescent bulbs at the Transfer Station if you have a use sticker or at Lorden's True Value Hardware on Main Street. Thermostats, thermometers, and button-cell batteries can be recycled at no charge at either the Transfer Station or the Board of Health Office behind Town Hall. For a limited time, if you recycle a mercury thermometer, you can receive a free digital thermometer. If you have larger quantities of mercury that needs disposal, contact the Board of Health and arrangements can be made. Do your part to comply with this new law but more importantly to protect the environment.
For more information, please contact the DPW

Fire Department fundraiser - "EZ View" solar-powered illuminated house numbers
$12 each to benefit Pepperell's S.A.F.E. for kids
As a fundraiser to benefit the S.A.F.E program for Pepperell school children, the Fire Department is offering "EZ View" solar-powered illuminated house numbers for $12 per number (regularly $15.99/number). These house numbers can be affixed to a mailbox or directly to a house or both and could speed emergency response during nighttime hours.

- Charges all day, glows all night
- Environmentally friendly
- turns on and off automatically
- visible from over 200 ft.
- 1,000 hours reserve power
- weatherproof
- maintenance free
- easy installation
- units snap together
- contemporary design

Emergency Medical Services, Police, and Firefighters are trained to respond quickly to help save lives. Unfortunately, most house numbers are virtually impossible to see at night. This puts you and your loved ones in danger.
The law requires clear identification of all homes, but because these laws are generally not enforced, many families fail to ensure that their address is visible at night. Many lives are lost each day simply because emergency help was delayed in reaching them. Don't let this happen to you.
EZ View Solar Powered Illuminated House Number are constructed with high quality electronic components, are maintenance free, and install with just two screws.
The EZ View Solar-Powered House Numbers are available at the Fire Department at 59 Main St. during normal business hours (except when out on inspections) and by mail by downloading an order form and mailing a check.
