El CupAJoe Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 I'm guessing a bunch of it will end up with battery companies etc, which should drive down the cost of scrap lead supply... I just don't see them throwing it all in a hole somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And from there who’s in power at the time , recycling is only a big priority when the right people are making money from it .

irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 The Fed's will require this to be disposed of as hazardous materials. Collected, contained and disposed of in an approved site. The Fed's are/were the worst polluters in the country. Since they've been caught the don't mess around. Our military bases were a big dump site for anything and everything. I worked at a number of bases on the West Coast. We were always dealing with hazardous waste.
