Bad form? That must be the understatement of the month. What idiot puts a flare in a waste bin?

No excuses..if the manufacturers of these devices want to sell them and profit, then its about time they organised the simple and easy disposal of them after the sell by date ?
It blimming hard work getting rid of them for the responsible owner and nobody should wonder why so many simply get chucked over the side.

The same idiots who threw their Halon extinguishers in the marina bins.

Perhaps every set of flares should come with a return postage paid Jiffy bag, pre-addressed to the manufacturer or a www. return flares .com address PDF to print out.
Cannot be that hard for Gwad sake.
Why is disposal of anything always somebody elses problem and not that of the outfit which sold it.....Cars are good example and as for boats ;(

They can only be sent via specialist courier companies, licenced for dangerous goods. Not Royal Mail. Not surprisingly,
specialist courier companies are perfectly capable of delivering to non mainland addresses, despite the marinestore claims.

So why the reluctance of manufacturers to clean up their own mess.
Anybody involved in the production/sale/use of single use plastic, esp. bottles should be shot at dawn .
AFAIAK.

I’m sure the manufacturers or retailers could easily arrange disposal of the old ones but would probably double the cost so would give the cheapskates something else to moan about
