• Suppose you're planning a firework display you
  need to prioritize your audience's safety from
  start to finish. One vital aspect of firework
  safety is disposing of used pyrotechnics.
• Learning about proper pyrotechnics disposal is as
  crucial as understanding the correct lighting
  procedures and setup. It'd help to also buy
  fireworks online from a licensed pyrotechnics
  store to ensure you get the best quality. 
• This blog post discusses proper ways of disposing
  of used fireworks to avoid firework-related
  hazards. Read to the end!

• Wait Before Handling
• It's unsafe to clean up fireworks debris
  immediately after a show. Wait for a while after
  the display before parking the used fireworks.
  Allow the packed residue to sit in a bucket of
  water for one hour to enable them to stop burning
  completely.

• Hence, we always recommend keeping a hose or
  bucket of water nearby. A hose or bucket of water
  also comes in handy when a fire outbreak occurs
  due to the firework spark landing on a flammable
  object or an explosion from a falsely packaged
  consumer firework. That's why it's best to always
  buy fireworks online from a licensed shop to get
  the best-quality pyrotechnics.

5

• Trash Appropriately
• Once you have allowed your firework debris to sit
  for a while, soak it in a bucket of water. If
  you're using a trash bin, ensure it's made with
  metal and filled halfway with water, as leaving a
  smoldering firework in a metal bin is a recipe
  for a fire outbreak.

6

• Ensure you get a big trash can, substantial
  enough to support any large firework packages.
  It'd be best to leave the trashcan overnight
  before disposing of it. However, keep it away
  from any structures close to the street.  
• Most structure fires that occur during major
  holidays like the Fourth of July begin from
  smoldering fireworks in bins next to structures.

7

• Therefore, it's best to always fill trash cans
  with water before putting fireworks in them and
  ensure you place them away from structures. After
  your fireworks have stayed overnight in the
  water-filled trash can, consider emptying the
  water into a bucket and leaving the soaked
  fireworks in the bin or have them transferred to
  another trash receptacle.  
• You might want to consider double wrapping the
  fireworks in a wet plastic bag to ensure they
  don't dry out, then move them to your household
  garbage bin.

8

• The used fireworks are now ready for regular
  trash pickup and disposal. Used fireworks aren't
  recyclable, so it's best to take them to the
  appropriate waste receptacle.
