Atlantic City Police Department Chief James Sarkos and City of Atlantic City – Government Mayor Marty Small, in partnership with Patricia Tatum and the American Legion, gathered at the Clayton G. Graham Public Safety Building for a dedication ceremony of the newly installed U.S. Flag Retirement Drop Box.
With summer around the corner and spring cleaning already underway, many people need to replace their worn out, torn and tattered flags. They can help those who need to dispose of their old US Flag. Simply drop off the flag in our secure drop box located inside the lobby area of the Public Safety Building located at 2715 Atlantic Avenue.

The Haverhill Exchange Club wants residents to know there is a proper method of retiring the American flag and the service club wants to help.
Exchange Club President Thea Tsagaris said the club’s “greatest priorities are to celebrate our country by honoring and respecting the American flag, promoting pride in our country and appreciation of Americas’ Freedoms.” In keeping with those priorities, she said, the club recently partnered with Driscoll Funeral Home to dedicate a U.S. Flag Retirement Drop Box. Patrick Driscoll said the box is available to the public 24-hours-a-day and there will be an event each year around Flag Day.
