The Dubuque Metropolitan Area Sold Waste Agency has issued a reminder to residents about the proper disposal of unused fireworks. The agency recommends completely submerging unused fireworks in a large bucket of water and soaking them overnight. Soaked fire works should be covered in plastic wrap or placed in two plastic bags. Bags of soaked fireworks can be placed in the household trash or taken to the landfill. Unsoaked fireworks pose a fire hazard.
