Explosives may consist of ammunition, fireworks, gun (black) powder, dynamite, flares, picric acid, peroxides, Tri and Di-nitro compounds, etc.
The explosive materials in most consumer fireworks and ammunition may deteriorate even if the produtcs are kept cool and dry.

Some police departments accept ammunition and fireworks for disposal. Call your local police department, NOT 911.
