That's handy. But do the trash collectors take spent Uranium?

For years,  they picked up radium-226, which was used on watches  for

I miss those radium dials....radioluminescence was a nice feature, but
Radium Girls 'contracted radiation poisoning from painting radium
dials'

"After being told that the paint was harmless, the women in each
facility ingested deadly amounts of radium after being instructed to
"point" their brushes on their lips in order to give them a fine
tip.[1] The women were instructed to point their brushes in this way
because using rags or a water rinse caused them to use more time and
material, as the paint was made from powdered radium, zinc sulfide (a
phosphor), gum arabic, and water. "
