Proper Flag Disposal
When your U.S. flag becomes torn, faded, or no longer suitable for display, it’s important to retire it respectfully.
Contact your local VFW or American Legion for proper flag retirement services, including ceremonial flag disposal.
VFW organizations and American Legions perform mass fla retirement ceremonies, which are a respectful alternative to simply throwing your old flag in the trash.

Electronics Recycling
Did you know the average American household owns at least 24 electronic products? Each year, 300 to 400 million of these devices become obsolete, yet less than 20% of e-waste is recycled.
Older electronics, like TVs with cathode ray tubes, contain harmful substances such as 4-7 pounds of lead, posing hazards during waste collection.
The Covered Devices Recycling Act bans the disposal of devices like laptops, monitors, and printers at the curb or in the trash.
Recycling one million computers reduces emissions equal to removing 16,000 cars from the road. We can all contribute to protecting the environment.
