Re[2]: Disposal of Old Radar Tubes

[Mike.Ashland@gsbsc.gensig.com]

     To all;
     
     Smoke detectors can be thrown out with the regular trash. Some 
     licensees are (or were) required to put on labels which ask the end 
     user to return the detector for disposal, but, as was pointed out 
     earlier, the end user can do whatever he or she wants with it. In the 
     U.S., it is becoming common practice for smoke detector manufacturers 
     to charge for disposal.
     
     Regards,

     smoke detectors should be returned to the manufacturer, not disposed 
     as " ordinary" trash
