When exploring South Florida’s beautiful natural environments, be watchful of what you leave in your wake. Items such as:

• flares
• fire extinguishers
• deep cycle batteries
• mercury float switches
• fuels and oils
• cleaning products and
• even boats themselves all need to be disposed of properly.

     Fortunately, proper disposal of many harmful boating products is easy and free for Palm Beach County residents.
