The Best Way to Dispose of Fireworks
Fireworks --- in states where household fireworks are legal --- are an excellent addition to holiday gatherings and parties. However, for safety reasons, you must be sure to dispose of your fireworks appropriately. While these steps are fine for small quantities of household fireworks, your local police and fire departments might also accept household firework disposals. In any event, consult your local police and fire department for the final word on how to dispose of fireworks.
