You can now recycle your smoke alarm or carbon monoxide detector at the Revelstoke Landfill.

Operated by the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, they are partnering with Product Care for the program.

The collection services will be operating at the Hazardous Waste Depot in Revelstoke, as well as Salmon Arm and Golden.

The Product Care collection program is a not-for-profit service funded entirely by Environmental Handling Fees applied to smoke and carbon monoxide alarms at the time of purchase.

The fees are used for the collection, transportation, recycling and safe disposal of returned products, as well as program administration and communication.
