I say just shoot it. Is it worse than some of that Guat?
Oh, and to answer your question, I have no idea if it'd be illegal to throw it away. |

Unless you are morally opposed to "polluting the environment," just toss it. Who is going to know?
That ammo can't be any worse than 90% of the caustic shit that I see people throwing away. |

not worth selling, its only a few dozen rounds of the decades-old eastern european surplus that goes for <.08 cents a round. And I won't have time to shoot it, i'm moving in 2 days, which is the reason I want to get rid of it.
Just wondering if it might be illegal to throw in the trash, or at all dangerous to the garbagemen who might be around the compactor. |

pliers will do it; be sure they have good grip on the bullet, needle-nose would be a poor choice for example.
with the powder gone the remainder is much less hazardous; I don't see a huge safety hazard to garbage guys being posed by primers |

Yes. burn the powder, you can even set off the primer by pouring the powder out in a line, leaving a trail into the case, and lighting it. Make nice little rockets

Just for safety, wear goggles or something when you are pulling the bullets. And it would probably be best if you didn’t hold the round in your bare hands either. Use another set of pliers or a vise or something. You want to put a little distance between your skin and the case of the cartridge.
The odds of something happening are very low, but better safe than sorry. |

If you don't want to shoot it, pull the bullets and dump the powder in your flower garden.
Soak the empty cases in water to disable the primers, then trash or recycle. |

If it's a big amount of ammo I'm sure you could just hand it in to the nearest fire station or police station and they would deal with it for you. Might want to call them and ask first.

I've never pulled bullets like this, but the military ammo has a tar-like substance as a neck-sealer to prevent moisture contamination. What I did was to put the round in a locading press, and with any type of die, push the bullet down just a bit(the amount of travel doesn't matter) to break the seal. After that you can probably easily pull the bullet easily. I think you don't break the neck seal, you have to use a lot strenght to seperate the bullet from the case. BTW: Primers won't explode if there is no bullet on top, they will just burn very ferocious for a moment. |

I had this same problem a couple years ago:
by turns of various events, I ended up with several hundred rounds of 223,,, and no 223-cal gun to shoot them. No mil surp, all reloads (none I reloaded; some commercial, some from the local shop/range). And all of it over ten years old now. -The entire quantity is too heavy to throw away at once. Plus it sounds odd and if the trash company found it there could be trouble from that end, because we're not supposed to throw away anything that contains flammable materials (combustible or liquid fuels, ect). -I called the shop and asked what to do with them, they said they didn't have any means of accepting ammo for disposal. They advised that I ,,,, [-see below-]. I called the local police and they also said they couldn't advise what to do with it, and that they had no means of free or for-fee disposal either. The gun shop advised that I soak them in a container of motor oil for a couple days, and then just throw them away in the regular trash. But this wasn't really any good solution because--as I sasid--solid and liquid combustibles are illegal to throw in the trash where I live. So if I did this, not only would I have the bullets themselves to get rid of, but I'd also have a leftover quantity of "unusable in a vehicle" oil as well. --------- My solution was fast-food joints. You know..... after you pay at the first window and get your food at the second, then you pull forward a bit more and there's a trash-can on the drivers side you can toss trash in?.... yep. When I'd do this, I'd use the food bag from the previous visit. That way even if they thought I threw something wierd in there, they wouldn't be able to prove it--the trashcan's full of their food bags. They'd have no way of knowing which one I threw in.  I did that about three or four times, and then slacked off. I've still gotta do it at least five or six more times to get rid of it all. ~ |

Drop it in a doorway in London. They'll get a big kick out of that!
ETA Make a call to the PD, see if they will accept it for disposal. They git rid of many thousands of rounds per yeawr of confiscated ammo. |

Noooooo !!! Box it up and I'll send you a prepaid box or label to ship it to me. You can always put ammo up in the EE as "not safe to shoot" for pulling down components ONLY. Damn that's a waste to a reloader. |

Just pull the bullets...throw powder in the garden or burn it off...then shoot the primers in the cases...chuck cases if steal..recycle if brass.
If not, look up someone on the hometown forums and just give them away. Someone will be hppy to tke them off your hands. |

I had a small-scale issue of disposing of live ammo a few years ago (pre 9-11).
I caught a flight from Portland to San Francisco, and while sitting cramped up in that tiny seat felt something hard in my pocket ... it was a 9mm round. A few days earler the local TV channels "Breaking News" was of a "Live bullet found in a jetway at the airport  " -- Apparently it was of the type used by police, and so highly dangerous, and investigations were underway to find out how it got there  So I wasn't about to drop it in the pocket seat in front of me ... At the hotel in SF I thought about it ... the dropped it into the soda can I just finished, screwed up the can and dropped it in the trash. Never saw any news items about SF trash collectors being killed by exploding soda cans
