The Port of Los Angeles will host a marine flare collection event Sept. 9 at Cabrillo Way Marina.
The drive-through event is hosted in an effort to encourage the safe disposal of marine flares, which can be hazardous and dangerous. Advance registration is required at the link below.
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.
At last year’s event, the Port collected more than 440 pounds of marine flares from marina owners, operators and boaters.
E-flare and West Marine coupons are available for participants as well as free California Boater Kit vouchers while supplies last. Those with a residence, business or boat slip in Los Angeles County are eligible to participate. Proof of eligibility is required.
