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.
