Flare

Do not dispose of flares in your household kerbside bins.

Most flares have a use-by-date of three years, and penalties apply if they are not replaced before the expiry date. It is the responsibility of marine flare owners to dispose of the expired flares in a safe and timely manner. 

The Expired Marine Flare Disposal Program is set up so that you can dispose of expired flares responsibly. Visit www.nsw.gov.au for dates and locations.
