INFORMATION:
Holiday Fireworks Disposal
With Independence Day approaching, there may be a potential increase in the collection of fireworks;
therefore, we have placed a round bin outside near the vehicle cage for the deposit of fireworks. This
bin is ONLY for fireworks collected for destruction. There is no need to complete a PD-221 or an
evidence tag. You can just place the items inside the bin.
However, if you have confiscated fireworks as part of an investigation or if you are citing or arresting
someone for the fireworks, then you must log them as you would any other evidence.
These evidence items need to be packaged in an appropriately-sized box, paper bag or
envelope with evidence tag affixed. The packaged fireworks must then be placed in the
hazard locker, or if the items are too large for the hazard locker, placed inside one of the
nearby drying lockers. These fireworks DO need to be entered as a property item on a PD-
221/222 and their location listed as "H" (for Hazard Locker).
