Fireworks are not recyclable
Dispose as garbage with these two requests:
Sweep up firework litter so it does not go into the storm drain and into local creeks.
Make sure fireworks are extinguished and cool before disposing. Dousing with water is a good idea. Carts that are melted will be replaced and the property invoiced.
