[ RadSafe ] Disposal/Recycle Options for Smoke Detectors

[Glenn R. Marshall]

What?  And give way to the obsolete smoke detector black market and their fiendish plan to rule the world with americium foils?  Never!

Wouldn't it be great if all of these device registration sheets were available on line so anyone could look them up?

Hello Shane,
I looked up the device sheets for the smoke detectors you mentioned. The Pyrotronics DU-3 is exempt (SSD # NR-829-D-802-E). So, in Colorado and most states, you could dispose of it in ordinary trash just like any smoke detector you could buy at Wal-Mart. I haven't been able to find a device sheet for the Ademco - it must be very old. Perhaps someone else on Radsafe has come across one.
