Dispose of expired marine flares

You can safely and legally dispose of used or expired marine flares at mobile collection sites. This service is only available at certain times of the year.

As marine flares contain explosive matter, after they are used or expired, you must dispose of them safely and legally.

The NSW Government runs a marine flares collection program that visits sites in Greater Sydney and coastal NSW.

You can dispose of marine flares at one of the mobile collection sites but only at certain times of the year.

Use the online search tool to find a collection site.
