Smoke Alarms
Many smoke alarms contain a small amount of radioactive substances. Contact the company that makes the detector to learn about returns and recycling. Curie Environmental Services in Albuquerque, New Mexico recycles individual smoke detectors from individuals and larger commercial entities for a fee. While smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors aren’t banned from landfills in Vermont, care should be taken to remove any batteries prior to disposal and recycle them at participating locations.
