As we gear up for the excitement of fireworks season, it's important to also focus on safety, even after the festivities have ended. One crucial aspect of fireworks safety often overlooked is proper disposal.

Instead of simply tossing used fireworks into the trash, it's essential to follow a simple yet vital step: soaking them in a bucket of water for 24 hours before disposal. This small act plays a significant role in preventing potential fires and ensuring the safety of everyone in our community.

By soaking fireworks before disposal, you effectively neutralize any remaining sparks or embers that could potentially ignite combustible materials in the trash. Remember, a little precaution goes a long way in safeguarding our homes and neighborhoods.

The Household Hazardous Waste drop-off location in Elk Grove will be temporarily unavailable during the week of July 1st.

We anticipate this drop-off location will be available again during the week of July 7th.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
