In my area of Wisconsin we have "toxic drives" where the police and fire department pick up potentially hazardous material like old reloading powder, paint thinner and unmarked liquids found in old garages.
Over the year I've found stuff I have accumulated, including faulty ammo. The nice thing is that I live in a smaller bedroom community.
While motor oil is getting more difficult to recycle, things like ammunition are not a problem. I've even stopped to chat with a cop and handed her some faulty ammo. She was very helpful, and mentioned that they keep faulty handloads from range practice and have a safe system for disposal. She was glad to help.
I think there are procedures out there--not advertised--that can aid shooters if they just knew whom to ask.
