Retiring a Flag:
When a flag is no longer fit to display, it can be dropped off at any post office or municiple building that has a red flag box displayed out front. These boxes are intended for the collection of retired flags.
Additional methods by which you can appropriately retire your flag is by contacting your local boy scouts organizations; or you are more than welcome to bring your retired flags to our showroom at DS Tool Flags and Flagpoles where we would be more than happy to take it off of your hands.
