Proper FIREWORKS DISPOSAL is very important!

Fireworks are explosive, hazardous to human life, and must never be disposed of in the regular trash without following these instructions: 
• Soak fireworks in water in a metal container for several days
• After soaking, seal the wet fireworks in a plastic bag to prevent them from drying out
• Place them in the regular trash 

You can visit our website or the Pennsylvania Office of Emergency Management’s website for additional information.
