Old flare disposal.

[Destroyer]

Pretty much what Spareparts said. I use them for 4th of July, training, or what not.. If they have just expired I'd keep them. There's no law that says you must dispose of them. The law says you have to have current ones on your boat. But extras, are ok, even if out of date. Now, if they were just lying around, not in a plastic, waterproof bag... then it shoot them off for fun time. Moisture kills them.

We usually donate them to the Coast Guard Aux to use in practice drills. They really appreciate them.

Good to know. I have 3 within a 40 mile radius here so may be my best option. Most of them are soaking wet but still don't want to risk one firing off in the back of a trash truck.

Flares are a racket like trailer lights and trailer brakes.

And boat horns.

I keep mine in a ziplock bag in my Orion kit. Fired some old ones off last year and they were still good.
