Last year’s BMOP winner was Johnstone Supply, who
recycled 107 lbs. of mercury during the competition.
“We’re looking forward to participating again this
year—and to ramp up our game,” states Jeff Schultz, Air
& IAQ Product Manager for Johnstone Supply. “The
competition is fun, while also helping to protect our
environment. Being able to drop off the mercury
thermostats in the course of regular business is a real
convenience for our contractors even during the busiest
season.”
