Smoke Detector Recycling
Did you know that smoke detectors typically have a limited lifespan of 10 years?
Once they reach end of life, they should never be thrown in the trash. These small devices contain electronic components, and, in some cases, a radioactive source known as Americium-241 (Am-241), which requires specialized handling. Not encapsulated, this substance can leak and contaminate the environment for thousands of years.
That’s why Uni-Vert Tech offers a simple, comprehensive, and environmentally responsible solution for recycling your smoke detectors.
Our service includes:
- Safe dismantling of smoke detectors
- Recycling of plastics, batteries, and electronic components
- Collection service in major urban centers (subject to availability)
- Clear instructions for legal transportation to our facility
- Competitive pricing and volume discounts
