Florida has adopted the federal Universal Waste Rule (UWR, 40 CFR Part 273).

The more stringent and inclusive regulations set out in 62-737, F.A.C., should be followed.
Mercury is used in many everyday products like fluorescent lamps, thermometers, thermostats, blood pressure manometers and pleasure boat bilge pump float switches. Some of these products have an environmental benefit. For example, fluorescent lamps use less energy than traditional incandescent lamps. Unless they are recycled or otherwise disposed of properly, however, the mercury from these discarded products can contaminate the air, surface water and ground water.
