Where the @#%^@ do I recycle fire alarms? E-waste won't take it<br>
because it contains hazardous material. Nothing on the City of<br>
Winnipeg site mentions fire alarms, even in their search function.<br>
Google doesn't know. The normal liquid-hazardous-waste place doesn't<br>
list them as acceptable.<br>

So what does one do with these things that contain radioactive<br>
material? Next step: garbage, as I'm sure 99.9% of Winnipeggers do.<br>
