Where can I set off fireworks?

It is always best practice to discharge fireworks from your property and ensure that no part of the firework, including burning embers, leaves your property.  Individuals and property owners may be held liable in civil courts for any damage caused to persons or property caused by firework discharge.  

How do I dispose of fireworks?

• Soak spent fireworks in a bucket of water for at least 15 minutes
• Wrap them in plastic, leave them overnight far away from structures and combustibles.
  
• Put them in your garbage

The water will contain heavy metals, so it is recommended that you dump the leftover water on gravel or grass – not down a sink or storm drain where it can pollute groundwater, streams, or Puget Sound.
