How to properly retire US flags in Monroe County
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Flag Day is this weekend, and patriots will be looking to fly their flags high in honor of the holiday! However, some residents may have US flags that have seen better days, and Monroe County is showing residents how to retire ripped, faded, or damaged flags. The reverence for Old Glory that inspired Flag Day arose decades after Betsy Ross sewed her first County Executive Adam Bello says it's as easy as a trip to the Monroe County/WM ecopark, located on Avion Drive in Rochester. Those with unservicable flags can drop them off — no appointment necessary. According to the county, the ecopark has collected over 15 tons of flags, or 30,000 pounds, for retirement. 'The ecopark provides a respectful way to retire unserviceable U.S. flags, while valuing patriotism and helping the environment,' Bello said. The ecopark is open from 1 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Wednesdays and 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

'We have people coming back year after year, telling us incredible stories about what they've done with the horses.' The animals will be up for adoption at Shale Knoll Arena in Annville until 5 p.m. on Friday, June 13, and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 14. Wild mustang trainer and owner of Haven's Hideout Ranch, Doug Havens, said, 'mustangs make great horses. I have them in my trail riding program. We put kids on them, adults, older people.
