I guess we should ask ourselves the question: What do we recommend to
our neighbor who wants to discard 3 smoke detectors (ionizing chamber
with 0.9 uCi of Am-241) and replace them with 3, new and improved (?)
"photoelectric" models ?

The answer is not easy and in this world, nothing is free (quite the
opposite with ANY "radioactive waste").

Is there anybody in a position to ask a commercial disposer to accept HS
waste w/o charge as a public service?  That would send a responsible
message from "our industry" to students.

Opinions are my own
