How do I dispose of a carbon monoxide detector?
My wife and I are remodeling our old family vacation home and we’re switching out all the old alarms but we aren’t sure about how to get rid of them. How do I dispose of a carbon monoxide detector?

Getting rid of items like alarms can be tricky but the best way to handle it is to check if the company has a buy-back program.
If they do then you can simply send the old alarm back. If not, the best way to dispose of an old carbon monoxide detector is to remove the batteries and chuck it in the recycling if you’re able. If not, the trash will do.
Because carbon monoxide alarms do not have any hazardous materials in their construction they are safe to become a part of regular trash or recycling. However, you should always make sure that the items you need to dispose of are safe to enter normal trash or recycling before you throw them away. If you don’t, you could face heavy fines depending on your state laws.
While you and your wife are remodeling, be sure to take a look at your
