Manzo [EH] <br />Subject: RE: Smoke Alarms <br />Hi Kasey, <br />I checked with PSC and obtained clarification on our HHW policy. The HHW is not permitted to accept any radioactive <br />materials including smoke detectors that are radioactive. Non -radioactive smoke detectors are accepted and are <br />processed as E/U-Waste (circuit board/batteries). From time to time, however, we do inadvertently receive the <br />radioactive type (such as at the bottom of a box at one of our HHW events) and when this happens, they are shipped off <br />to a company called Curie Environmental Services for proper disposal. <br />Customers utilizing our facilities and events that deliver these items are told that we cannot accept anything radioactive. <br />These customers are provided with a handout listing product manufacturers where they can ship the unit to for proper <br />disposal as well as contact information for a vendor that specializes in managing these devices properly. <br />Thank you, <br />Joanne <br />From: Kasey Foley [EH] fmailto:KFoley(a)sicehd.coml <br />Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2013 11:21 AM <br />To: Joanne Smith-Ripp; Elena K.

Will you please check with PSC to see <br />how they dispose of them and let me know? <br />Thank you, <br />Kasey <br />From: Joanne Smith-Ripp Imailto:ismithriL)I)Psioov.ora] <br />Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2013 11:21 AM <br />To: Elena K.
