How to Recycle a Smoke Detector

Smoke detectors, also called smoke alarms, are essential in all homes and businesses. Over time, smoke detectors begin to lose their effectiveness and must be replaced with a new unit. The old one can then be recycled in several ways.

Instructions

    • 1

      Remove the batteries.

    • 2

      Take off any extra plastic pieces from your smoke detector and recycle them with your regular plastics.

    • 3

      Mail your old smoke detector directly to the manufacturer--most will accept old units. The name of the manufacturer will be on the back of the unit.

    • 4

      Take your old smoke detector to a recycling center.
