Smoke detectors can't be disposed of in any residential waste bin service.
Smoke detectors contain elements that are dangerous to people and to the environment if they are disposed of in landfill.
Smoke detectors can be disposed of at the Community Recycling Centre FREE of charge.
They can also be dropped off at a Household Chemical CleanOut event. It's a FREE service for the safe disposal of a range of household items andchemicals that could harm to human health and the environment if they are not disposed of correctly. Keep an eye out on the Cessnock Council Facebook page or Cessnock City Council website for events.
