How Do I Scrap Ammo?

Recycling Process

Scrap ammunition is managed through an industry-standard recycling process that prioritizes safety and environmental responsibility. Material is collected and transported to licensed facilities where trained professionals render items safe, segregate recoverable metals and components, and process energetic materials for secure destruction or neutralization. Reclaimed brass, steel and other metals are melted and repurposed, while hazardous residues are treated and disposed of according to regulatory requirements. Facilities also employ emissions controls and wastewater treatment to protect air and water quality. Throughout, strict handling protocols, monitoring, and documentation reduce risk to workers and communities and ensure that recycling minimizes landfill waste and pollution.
