Smoke Detectors

Smoke detectors contain a small amount of radioactive material and are not to be thrown into the trash. Waste detectors should be placed in the container marked "Smoke Detectors" near the supply window in the Central Stores and Warehouse building. The Director of Environmental Management will return the units to the manufacturer for recovery of the radioactive and other recyclable materials at a per-unit cost. They can be shipped by normal postal carrier.
