If you vacuum it up, what type of vacuum do you use.
Idealy it would allow the powder (and primers) to be "filtered" out before it gets into the main collection area of the machine
(re: the "kirby" story ).

I thought the B&D Porta vac I was using was ok but as I said
something (possibly a primer) got through and chewed the
propeller up.
For those who Vacuum > what design machine do you use?

Is it advisable to put it (the debris) out with the trash?
Down the Toilet?
On the grass?

One Poster advised not to believe the urban legend.
Do others agree?

Seriously..
Just how dangerous is this "litter"
and What steps need to be taken?
