aplumma Posted May 26, 2016 Report Posted May 26, 2016 From the orion disposal site DisposalTo dispose of expired marine pyrotechnic distress signals, Orion recommends the following method: Ignite hand-held signals flares on land in a safe area, much the same as highway flares would be ignited. Contact a local law enforcement or the fire protection agency for their advice on proper visual distress signal disposal. Retain flares for back-up use to expand signaling time in the event of an emergency. NEVER jettison visual distress signals overboard. NEVER activate marine flares in a non-emergency situation on or near regulated water. NEVER dispose of flares in household trash.
DRIFTER_016 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Posted May 26, 2016 I thought May 24th was flare disposal day July 1st and New-years eve too.
Terry Posted May 26, 2016 Report Posted May 26, 2016 i always thought you keep out of date flares for personal protection someone trying to steal your truck will run real fast with a flare burning his butt...lol
Mister G Posted May 26, 2016 Report Posted May 26, 2016 Out of Date flares............now that funny....
grimsbylander Posted May 27, 2016 Report Posted May 27, 2016 I keep the last expired set in the boat as backup. What the heck, they're paid for. New set satisfies the regs.
