Being a paramedic/firefigher for several years it is safe to say "do not throw them away even after soaking them in water!". Take them to your local fire department or police department for proper destruction. Even after sulfur and gunpowder have been soaked they will still dry out and could cause a hazard to people that the trash yard. Especially if your sanitation department incinerates them.

You can donate them to the U.S.C.G Aux. in your area, call and inquire, we take expired flares/ fire extingushers for "CREW DAY" training, we practice on fires, and proper flare handling, last time we set off an aerial flare during practice, a Police helicopter cruising off the beach spotted it, and came over the dunes towards the Bay in a "hover", he was "waived off" !

soak in water and throw them out in the trash
or light them up and have your own fireworks show
if your overly concerned call your local police dept they will pick them up for you
