Why Use Our Stars and Stripes Service?

The average lifespan of an American flag is 90 days before it is no longer a fitting emblem of display. While Carrot-Top flags last much longer, even the highest quality material deteriorates from outdoor conditions. U.S. flag code states that a flag must be retired and destroyed once it is significantly faded, frayed, or torn. However, throwing an American flag in the trash violates the U.S. flag code. Flags stand for those who fought for and gave their lives to protect our liberties and rights, so they should always be treated respectfully. American flags must be burned and not simply thrown away.

Retiring your flag properly can pose a challenge for businesses with limited time and resources. Some companies will place old flags in storage, taking up space until somebody can find a proper disposal method. With our Stars and Stripes Service, you can rest knowing your flag will be retired properly with minimal hassle on your part! Simply add the Stars and Stripes Swap label to your cart when purchasing a new flag. We'll provide a pre-paid shipping label from one of the three major carriers, covering the cost of sending up to three old flags to our warehouse. This service is most convenient when combined with a new flag purchase. Reuse the box from your new Carrot-Top flag to package your old flags and send them directly to our warehouse. USPS allows you to ship your flag directly from your address, while FedEx and UPS require an easy trip to the post office. Once received, we guarantee a dignified retirement for your flags.

**Note the Stars and Stripes program is for American flags only. Please contact our team if you wish to request a specific carrier for your label.
