Dispose of Your Marine Flares Safely!
Check your marine flares! Those manufactured in 2021 expire this year and anything prior to 2021 have already expired. Transport Canada approves marine flares for four years and should be replaced every third or fourth boating season. It’s not easy to get rid of expired flares in a safe and environmentally responsible way.
Safely Dispose of your Flares
CanBoat/NautiSavoir volunteers and select CIL Dealers are hosting Safety Equipment Education and Flare Disposal Days. Bring your expired marine flares from any manufacturer for FREE neutralization and safe disposal. Learn about required safety equipment and take advantage of this opportunity to dispose of outdated flares responsibly. Thanks to the generous funding support from the CPS Foundation in partnership with CIL, all costs associated with shipping, insurance, and disposal are covered.
