IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Flare Disposal
The Environmental Facilities Directory is a tool for general information and The Green Blue cannot provide advice on the safe disposal of flares.
Before travelling to dispose of your flares, please contact the disposal sites using the web addresses provided to confirm that they are able to accept your flares, the disposal cost, and whether an appointment is needed. Please be aware that most sites will charge a small amount to dispose of flares.
If you find flares abandoned in a public place, please don’t touch them, and inform the police so that they can arrange for them to be disposed of safely.
For more information please see:
- Government Department for Transport: Disposal of Unwanted Flares
- Royal Yachting Association: Disposal of Out of Date Flares.
