Even at West Marine, look thru the entire display and find the newest ones. Always a mix.....

Unfortunately... true. They need to get rid of present stock, so like the bread in the grocery store it pays to look at dates.

As for disposal of your expired flares, most counties have a Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection program. You should be able to have them properly disposed of either at a collection event or a permanent drop off center.

I like to light 'em up before I dispose of them.

I’m not opposed to putting them to good use, shenanigans or otherwise. I had to mention it though as a fella in the area tried to use an expired flare in an emergency situation and ended up with a hole in his stomach.
