The NSW Government has a program to help boaters safely dispose of expired marine flares.
Most flares have a use-by date of three years. Penalties can apply if flares are not replaced before the expiry date.
Flares contain explosive matter which makes it difficult to dispose of them safely and legally. It is an offence to set off flares except in an emergency, so they must be disposed of safely.
