The District operates a Mercury Thermometer Exchange. Residents can exchange a mercury thermometer (and one dollar) and receive a digital thermometer. Most Board of Health or Selectmen's offices participate. Thermostats are also accepted.
Please call the District Office at (413) 743-8208 for the location in your town.
