Retiring Old Glory

Saturday: 7 a.m.–5 p.m.

The American flag symbolizes freedom, strength, valor and justice.

When it becomes tattered and can no longer serve as a symbol of the United States, the U.S. Flag Code says it should be retired in a dignified manner.

The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County has made it easy for residents to retire old American flags.

Please drop them off in the special drop box at one of seven Solid Waste Authority Home Chemical & Recycling Centers in Palm Beach County, and your flag will be retired with respect and honor.
