INSTRUCTIONS
There is an etiquette for disposing of flags in a dignified manner, according to the U.S. Department of Defense. While they may be acceptable with textile recycling, it is preferable to ‘retire’ flags at participating organizations.
OTHER OPTIONS
Ask about flag retirement options at your local VFW or American Legion organizations. There is a local collection box at the Kingston Elks Lodge 550, located 143 Hurley Avenue Kingston NY.
