Richmond residents finally have a place to put out their smoke detectors.
The AlarmRecycle program began this month to encourage British Columbians to recycle old smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms and combination alarms at facilities across the province, free of charge.
Richmond residents can returns alarms to the South Van Bottle Depot at 34 East 69th Avenue, located between Ontario Street and Main Street.
Residents can also ditch antiquated alarms at Go Green Depot & Recycling at 2286 Ontario Street, near Seventh Avenue.
The program is funded by a tax applied to new smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.
