On my morning walk, I spotted these spent fireworks cartridges standing in a neighbor’s driveway. In celebration of Independence Day in the U.S., the fireworks did their job the previous evening.
A palette of patriotic colors and occasional booms filled the sky over the street. They wisely left the used containers of mayhem to stand overnight. I’m glad I was able to capture the photo before the spent containers were whisked away.

Who will pick them up and throw away? It’s interesting – why owners didn’t throw them away?

I assume the owners did, since they were in their driveway.

Most fireworks are definitely very expensive, so your title is very real. I’m glad fireworks day is over….
