... no, not the trousers some of us wore in the seventies... I mean pyrotechnic flares, as in parachute rockets etc.. There is often a problem getting rid of time-expired ones; I have had some success giving them in at chandlers, but only when buying some new ones, and there was a heap of them in our garage until yesterday. On a whim, we took them to our local Council tip/household recycling centre, and to my amazement the operative said " no problem, just put them there mate, we'll dispose of them properly". I said I didn't want to cause a bomb disposal incident but the worker assured me he knew what the flares were. And they didn't charge me.
Is this unusual? Will your Council dispose of TEPs for nowt, or was I just lucky? How do you dispose of yours...?
