Basically, I'm looking for a way to get rid of a box of black powder and ammunition that we have had in our home for quite awhile. They are stored in dark, cool places right now and are not at risk of igniting, but we prefer to get rid of them to avoid the risk of setting them off later. Any ideas?
Disposing of old black powder, shells, and a fireworks igniter.?
Open the black powder and pour water in the container. It will never ignite or burn after that. Go to your local Police or Sheriff's Department with the old ammo. They will dispose it for you (and no,,,you wont be in trouble for it,,,they will probably compliment you for bringing it in rather than dumping them somewhere). I hope this helps you.
Reply:the black powder will be fine to bury in the yard
as soon as it gets wet it is just thick mud and can not burn
the shells you can give to the sheriffs or local police and they will destroy for you and they never ask questions
the black powder is also pretty cool to watch as it sparkles in a camp fire tossed in a little pinch at a time
Reply:just spread the black powder in to the weeds or grass,
the shells, see if there is some one you know that hunts give them away,
fire works ignite, if its a spud just throw them in the trash,
Reply:Pop them in a box and take them down to your local recycle centre where they will put it into hazardous waste. Or go into a big field you own and set light to it all. Haharr!
that last bit was of course a joke, setting light to ammo is a very childish thing to do and your friends and teachers won't like or respect you if you do. so don't.
Reply:give them to the fire or police dept. they can use them for training
