Boaters on the Peninsula needing to safely dispose of expired marine flares will be able to do so on Friday, November 27, at the Lions Park boat ramp.
The Transport for NSW expired marine flare collection program has been extended with a mobile collection point to be set up across the Central Coast this month.
The boat ramp along North Burge Rd, Woy Woy, will be set up from 3:30pm to 5pm on the day for boaters to drop off their expired flares.
The collection program provides boaters with an opportunity to dispose of out of date flares, which can prove harmful if not safely and legally disposed of.
Most flares have a use-by-date of three years and they must be replaced before the expiry date.
