Smoke detectors contain the radioisotope Americium 241 (AM-241) or Radium 226 (RA-226) which is a radioactive element (also known as a source) inside the smoke detector used to make the smoke detector function. It is said by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) that all smoke detectors be replaced every 10 years for full accuracy. The fact there is a radioactive source / foil inside the smoke detector means the smoke detector should never be thrown in the regular trash and should be recycled by a company such as ADCO Environmental Services, LLC who has partnered with various radioactive waste disposal licensees in The United States to avoid sending radioactive materials to municipal landfills. When you recycle your smoke detector with ADCO, it will be dismantled by a licensed technician at the licensed processing facility and the radioactive source inside the unit will be extracted and reclaimed in an environmentally friendly manner where it will be recycled and re-used to make new smoke detectors in the future.
