Sure, users of smoke detectors do not need a radioactive material license 
(10 CFR parts 30-35 and 39) and don't have to worry about worker 
protections (10 CFR 20), however, this still doesn't answer the question of 
liability for the corportate entity who disposes of one in a landfill.  The 
fact may remain that what is good for a member of the general public 
(wrapping in newspaper and disposing in the trash) is not applicable to 
a corporation.
