Out-of-date / Time-expired Pyrotechnics (TEPs) and Fireworks Disposal

Pyrotechnics of all sorts often need responsible disposal for one of many reasons. They may be out-of-date or time-expired (past their legal sell-by date), illegally owned or imported, seizures by the authorities etc.

These can cause problems for various authorities who may lack the specialist skills and facilities to effect disposal in full legal compliance..
