The expired flares collection program provides the boating community with an opportunity to safely dispose of their out of date flares.
The mobile collection program visits sites across the state during peak boating season. The 2022-23 schedule include collections in November, January and April.
Most flares have a use-by date of 3 years and they must be replaced before the expiry date. Flares contain explosive matter which makes safe and legal disposal difficult.
Flare collection is no longer available at service centres or maritime sites. The mobile collection program commenced again in November 2022. Apex Park Boat Ramp, Centenary Drive, Narooma Saturday, 7 January 2023 7:30 to 8:30 Preddys Wharf Boat Ramp, Preddys Wharf Road, Moruya
