[ RadSafe ] Disposal/Recycle Options for Smoke Detectors

[Johanning, Jeffrey R.]

I remember it was shortly after Sept. 11 2001 that they were removed
from the web.  I quickly saved as many copies of the ones I thought were
pertinent to me but almost all of them are obsolete now and I am in need
of many others now also.  I find it ironic that I can't even go on line
at a secure site and get a copy of the ones I wrote. :(

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.
