Uniform Disposal Procedures

SECURITY: UNIFORM DISPOSAL POLICY

Obsolete, worn, damaged, or unwanted uniform items must be disposed of properly to ensure they do not become available to the general public. Any markings or identification sewn onto the uniform that identify it as belonging to an individual or as a Coast Guard/Aux uniform must be removed before disposal. The uniform item must be rendered unserviceable (by burning, tearing, cutting, etc.) before disposal. Uniform items may not be merely thrown in the trash without taking such precautions first. In addition, uniform items may not be donated to relief agencies (Goodwill, the Salvation Army, etc.), sold to retail or consignment stores for further resale to the public, or provided to any organization, for any purposes.

Flotilla 82 frequently has an inventory of ODU, trop and Service Dress Blue uniform items that you have at no cost. Contact the Flotilla Commander or Vice Flotilla Commander for assistance.
