Flag Destruction Program

Pope/Douglas operates a convenient program to destroy tattered, torn or faded flags.  This program is for businesses and households.

Businesses, Veterans and Service Clubs must schedule a drop-off prior to delivery.  Drop off for these groups is on Wednesdays by appointment.

As part of your County Solid Waste Service fee, this service is offered at no additional cost.
