If you have excess pyrotechnic material, what is the correct procedure?

The correct procedure for excess pyrotechnic material is to handle, store, and dispose of it according to Title 27 regulations. This is essential because Title 27 outlines specific safety standards and legal requirements for the management of hazardous materials, including pyrotechnics. Following these regulations ensures that all pyrotechnic materials are dealt with in a manner that minimizes risks to health and safety, prevents accidental ignition, and complies with local and federal laws.

By adhering to Title 27 guidelines, operators ensure that excess materials are stored safely and are disposed of responsibly. This helps prevent environmental contamination and reduces the likelihood of accidents that could arise from improper handling or disposal of pyrotechnics. Ignoring these regulations by choosing alternatives, such as disposing of the material in regular trash or using it for recreational purposes, can lead to serious safety hazards and legal repercussions.
