HM Coastguard no longer provides a routine service for the safe disposal of out of date flares. Other possible options are listed below:

• Check with your flare supplier-they will often be prepared to take them back.
• A local liferaft service agent should be able to help, as they dispose of flares on a regular basis.
• Check with your local port or marina as they may have disposal arrangements.

You must NOT dump flares in:

• Household rubbish
• Garden waste
• Public litter bins

It is an offence to dump flares at sea

How to dispose of these!
