Black Angus McPherson Posted July 22 Posted July 22 The title says it all. I was cleaning up my reloading room and I've got a bucket full of empty primer trays. Does anyone know of any use for them? Can they be thrown in with the recycling? It seems a waste to just throw them in the trash. Angus 1 Quote

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted July 23 Posted July 23 A slightly amusing anecdote: A number of years ago, my wife, had an acquaintance visiting, who saw some of my discarded primer trays and asked what they were. Sherron, knowing the woman had a gun phobia, told her the trays were miniature, gourmet chocolate chip holders. 1 11 Quote

Brock Posted July 23 Posted July 23 If they have that triangle with a number in it to identify the type of plastic, they might be recyclable. 1s and 2s are, a few of the others are not 1 Quote
