Dispose of Marine Flares Safely at Cabrillo Way Marina
Open to the public, this event is hosted by the Port in partnership with the California Coastal Commission, California State Parks, West Marine, and Sirius Signal to encourage the safe disposal of marine flares, which are hazardous waste and can be dangerous. The event is funded in part by a Household Hazardous Waste grant from CalRecycle.
Accepted items include used and unused hand-held flares, aerial flares and smoke signals. Staff will not accept electronic or military flares, or any other hazardous waste. Items must be placed in the trunk of participant vehicles. No walk-ups will be accepted.
Free California Boater Kits, e-flare coupons, and West Marine discount vouchers are available for all participants. Free e-flares are available while supplies last. Those with a residence, business or boat slip in Los Angeles County are eligible to participate. Proof of eligibility is required.
