American Flag Retirement 

Your American flag can be properly retired with the respect and gravity that it is entitled. The retirement of an American flag is a time-honored tradition and one that carries a great significance. 

The United States Flag Code states: “The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.

Taking your flag to one of these flag disposal locations listed below will ensure that the traditions and ceremony are utilized in the flag's retirement.
