Offer it up to a reloader? They’d likely happily cover shipping cost.

If the brass is reloadable, offer it up to someone that can use it. Heck, they might even give you some money for it!
 Put it in the EE section for brass reloading supplies, someone can use it. |

Sorry, I should have been more specific. The brass is trash. Bad range pickups, flattened, badly dented, split, etc., etc.
Been amassing these leftovers for about 6 or 7 years. A nearly full 5 gallon bucket I can barely lift. |

Yeah, I've got a bunch, too. Very little is reloadable. I need to find someone in eastern L.A. County or adjacent parts of San Bernardino, Orange, or Riverside Counties who'll take brass. I know they exist, I'm just not sure which places do so. The only one I found that definitely does only picks up at your place (no drop-offs) for any and all types of scrap, and requires you to have hundreds of pounds to bother.

For the East LA/Riverside guy, McCoy Recycling in Rancho Cucamonga, 8975 Rochester.
They took a five gallon bucket of 223 brass about a year ago. I assume they still do. Give them a call. |

If you just want to get rid of it, there are guys who drive around the neighborhoods who collect scrap metal of any and all types for recycling.
They come around the day before trash gets picked up when everything has been put out but the trash man has not yet shown up. Some have been doing this long enough, they have a phone number you can call them to come get the scrap. |

Rather than just 'get rid of it' I'd rather get the recycling fee. Some years ago, I got about $75 for the full 5 gallon bucket.
Maybe the price has changed somewhat, but I can do a lot with $75. Ima keep lookin. My thought was that others in my area would have a lead on this for a local place. I know a place in the next county over but didn't want to make the drive if I didn't have to. |

I gave the bucket of scrap, non reloadable 233 to my son and said if he could find a place to take it he could keep the money. The MCCoy place gave him about $80. Anyway, good luck. |

Good Idea!
I know one of the indoor ranges I used to go to had a service that picked it all up and did the processing/reloading, etc. Other ranges may have a suitable recycler. Thanks |

What about an indoor range like Glockstore? Even though the brass is trash it still has scrap value; can't imagine why they'd refuse it....it's free money to them.
