Question
To ask the Scottish Government how the proposed update to fire alarm regulations take account of alarm scrappage and recycling.
Answer
Alarms which do not meet the new standard and are no longer required can be disposed of as part of general household waste. However, when lockdown measures allow, we would encourage householders to dispose of alarms either by handing them to the retailer when they purchase a new alarm or by taking them to a civic amenity site as small mixed waste electronic equipment.
