Michael T Babcock<p>So today we tried to dispose of an expired smart smoke alarm (Nest) properly, by bringing it to hazardous disposal. <br>It contains a circuit board, potentially radioactive material, and a Lithium-Ion battery. <br>The nice person who said no told us that after it has expired, it is no longer considered radioactive, and didn't care about either of the other issues, and told us to just put it in the garbage. <br>Sigh. <br><a href="https://floss.social/tags/hazardousWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hazardousWaste</span></a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/smokeAlarm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>smokeAlarm</span></a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/trash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trash</span></a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/environmentalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>environmentalism</span></a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/Ewaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ewaste</span></a></p>
