An exclusive load of trash from a residential clean out from a dwelling resulted in a rejection at the transfer station [Allied Waste] when the radiation alarms sounded. The hauler provided the name of a person who had assisted a clean out of a deceased relative's residence in Amesbury, Massachusetts. Upon notification, they were required to hire the services of a competent consultant [Radiac Environmental Services out of Brooklyn, NY] to separate and identify the radioactive constituents. The competent consultant discovered a small knob, affixed to a machine screw assembly, located within a voluminous collection of household refuse. The consultant subsequently determined that the [knob] assembly contained 5 micro-curies of radium-226. The consultant also arranged for the proper packaging and shipment of this gadget for the relative of the deceased owner. | An exclusive load of trash from a residential clean out from a dwelling resulted in a rejection at the transfer station [Allied Waste] when the radiation alarms sounded.
