A Sun Spots column published Monday on page C9 incorrectly directed people to recycle thermometers at certain local plumbing and heating supply houses. These companies take thermostats, not thermometers for recycling, offering a $5 in-store coupon if you bring in a mercury thermostat. For more information, go to http://www.maine.gov/dep/rwm/mercury/thermostatrecyclingstores.xls

The information was incorrectly reported by the Sun Journal.
