FIREWORKS DISPOSAL SERVICES

With consumer fireworks now legal in 49 states, proper disposal is crucial for the safety of both people and the environment. There are various safe methods for disposing of consumer fireworks, such as soaking them in water. However, large quantities can be challenging to manage due to the time, labor, and regulatory requirements for storage.

The disposal of display fireworks (formerly known as “Class B” fireworks), used in professional shows under licensed supervision, is even more complex. These fireworks are classified as explosive hazardous waste and should never be discarded in the trash.

So, how do you dispose of explosive, hazardous and expired fireworks? This question often arises in police departments, fire departments, bomb squads, city management offices, and other organizations handling fireworks. The extensive regulations can be overwhelming for managers responsible for fireworks disposal.

Fortunately, we can help! We offer a simple consumption program for unused fireworks. Just give us a call or send us a message.


Hazards of Storing Unused or Expired Fireworks

Fireworks are designed to explode, making them inherently dangerous to own, store, and use. Store unused fireworks in a cool, dry place like a garage. Large quantities of fireworks are highly explosive and often must be stored in magazines (for display fireworks) or shipping containers (for consumer fireworks), following state regulations. Ensure that unused fireworks are kept away from electrical appliances and be aware that extreme weather can also cause ignition.

Fireworks and the Environment

Fireworks can harm the environment. They contain harsh chemicals, metals, and fuel that can leak into groundwater if not disposed of properly. Fireworks are also significant air pollutants; Fourth of July celebrations alone increase air pollution in the United States by 42% each year.

Although fireworks aren’t used frequently enough to cause long-term environmental impact, it’s important to dispose of them correctly to prevent toxic chemicals from contaminating water sources.
