After reading the original artical I began to examine my bit bucket with Xmag and, much to my 
surprise, noticed lots of those itsy-bitsy Radioactive, Chemical, Fire Hazard signs on those bits. 
I had no idea! So for the last week I've been discarding the floppies in the Hazardous Waste bin.

Thanks for the "heads up".

BTW - I haven't noticed any dead cats or squirrels around the trash cans all week!
