On a firearm-related website, you ask how to dispose of a perfectly-good target?

Try Best Buy as noted. Sadly, our community’s recycle center closed this past year. Though Waste Mgmt picks up recycle items from our curb, that independent community center accepted far more types of items than does Waste.

Ideas on what to do? Thanks


We are "encouraged" to take the electronic stuff we no longer want to a particular shed at our landfill. I understand they give/sell the stuff to some kind of re-cycler.

A couple of years ago I used my new P320 45 to destroy three hardrives with double taps.

I don’t pull the drives. I open the case and use a drill to put holes in it and then off to our village when then have electronic recycling

Here they frown on using a 556 for data removal

I was burning some brush. Took my old one and tossed it in. Then after that picked up all the leftovers that didn't melt and threw in the recycle bin.

Trash can. I dont want it ground up and shipped to some 3rd world country, to end up in a trash heap , with children getting poisoned and burned using soldering irons, acids, mercury and other chemicals recovering silver and other metals.

357sig will.

I don't doubt it. The .45 went through one side of the case and the first platter but was stopped by the second one.
