This article was in our local paper this week and I thought it might be a good idea to post it, so that there is a method of disposing of old flares.
"The OPP and Transport Canada have partnered to allow Ontario boaters to safely dispose of expired recreationjal marine flares.
For one week only, August 1 to 8, 2009, expired recreational marine flares can be dropped off at any of the 165 OPP detachments across the province.
At the end of the week, the OPP will turn the expired flares in to Transport Canada's Office of Boating Safety for safe transport to a certified disposal site.
Marine flares should be set off in an emergency situation and shouold be replaced after their expiry date. Due to environmental concerns and the dangers of explosion, expired recreational marine flares should not be disposed of in the landfill."
This for your information
