Summary

This Marine Information Note highlights how from 31 December 2022 HM Coastguard will stop offering a voluntary, public-facing flare disposal service to private individuals who have personal flares to dispose of. From that date, private individuals will need to use a third-party disposal service to dispose of their personal flares.

This note offers guidance to private individuals on how to dispose of their flares, and private businesses that may wish to offer a disposal service.

This notice expires 12 October 2023.
