| When you determine that it is unsafe or that it is unacceptable to reload certain brass is there an alternative to tossing it? Basically How can brass be repurposed if not reloaded? |

Yellow brass does pretty well at metal recyclers. Looks like current prices are $1.59 nationally. The local place here will take it. I save up any berdan or ruined cases until I have 10 lbs. Heck, I'll even save .22's, if what I'm shooting doesn't throw them into the weeds.
Garbage bags full of aluminum cans won't net you what a Walmart sack of brass will.

I usually make dummy cartridges out of a few pieces of retired brass. The rest goes into a scrap box. When I get enough, I take them to a metal recycler. |

I throw all my spent primers, rimfire brass, and shit brass into a coffee can. When I go to the salvage yard every year or two, I turn them in like the rest of the metals I have. This time, I took a not quite full one gallon ice cream container and got about $13 for it.
The previous time, they put all of my brass bits and shell cases on the scale at the same time. I asked if they shouldn't be weighed separate since they were different. The guy said no. I was going to raise hell inside if they tried paying the cheaper price for all of my brass, but they gave me the highest price for all of it. |

I like that, what a great idea. |
