About the Annual Competition
The annual competition was held among Heating, Air-conditioning, and Refrigeration Distributors International (HARDI) members. With a total of 370.946 pounds of mercury recovered from collection bins during the contest period that ran from May 1 to Oct. 31.
This year, 102 HARDI member distributors participated in the BMOP contest by sending in at least one bin from their more than 1,000-member locations nationwide.
“The HARDI membership commitment to recycling mercury in an environmentally safe manner is a testament to their concern for the environment and their commitment to high safety standards in the industry,” said Ryan Kiscaden, executive director of TRC. “Their participation is a front-line effort at keeping mercury out of the environmental stream.”
Kiscaden announced the winners of the BMOP competition during HARDI’s Annual Conference, Dec. 3, in Las Vegas.
