Flare Recycling?

We received the following letter from Bob Adams:

"You can recycle paint, car batteries and prescription drugs at the point of sale, so why can’t we do the same with expired flares? It’s been proven that flares past their due date are somewhat unreliable, so I don’t want to keep them onboard. I also don’t want to put them in the trash or throw them overboard. I’ve been told to take them to the county HAZMAT site but that’s never a simple thing to do."

"I’d be more than willing to pay a small recycling fee whenever I buy flares just so that there will be an easy and reliable place to take them. What do some of your other readers do?"
