OLYMPIA, Wash. – If you are looking for a way to safely dispose of fireworks, the Washington State Fire Marshal’s Office has some tips.
First, the office advises that anyone using fireworks keep a bucket of water nearby and to let fireworks cool-off before handling them.
“Soak used fireworks overnight in a bucket of water, making sure fireworks remain completely submerged. Double bag the fireworks when throwing them away. Dispose of discharged fireworks in a metal garbage can for pick up,” the Fire Marshal’s Office said.
The use and sale of fireworks is banned in Spokane County and several surrounding areas. More information on the safe disposal of fireworks can be found on Washington State Patrol’s website.
