From the orion disposal site

 

Disposal

To 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.

I keep the last expired set in the boat as backup. What the heck, they're paid for. New set satisfies the regs.
