Pigeon Shredder. Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Just seen that someone had disposed of used and unused cartridges at their local tip on the lsle of Wight, and that the local council have stated that both used and unused should be returned to the original supplier or a specialist disposal contractor and not in any circumstance placed into the weekly refuse . Oh dear, can understand the live ones, but who's not guilty of the used ones. And are we now going to have our bins inspected because we're SGC holders, as l bet somebody at county hall can press a button linked into the police system and id who is. ?

Dave at kelton Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Irrespective of the disposal issue the police could not make your personal details available to the a Local Authority without breaching GDPR I believe, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Well I have been putting doubled fired shotgun cartridges in our recycling bin since they introduced them, I shall keep doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonepark Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Shooter would have been better to cut across wad waist and pull open separating shot from powder and depositing contents into bin, but looking at the state, I suspect they would have trouble going pop, never mind bang, assuming the primer was ever hit hard enough to get them going.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 I wonder if the Council Operative called the Bomb Squad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewulf Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Wasnt there a 'major incident' the other week, where 'ammunition' was found in a village up north somewhere ? I think it was 4 live 12g shells and a load of fired ones at he side of the road. Must have been a slow day for news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my friends worked in a local tip, several years ago he opened up a box and found a military rocket launcher. Him being the gaffer he rang the local constabulary and was given MOD in Lancashire to contact, anyroad they turned up the next day and did not appear that particularly concerned. Words were that stuff did turn up every now and then. It must be a good 15 years ago as I recall Just nipping out love, got too run the tip to get rid of the old pram, a burst football and that rocket launcher, wont be long! ?

TIGHTCHOKE Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 We would get called out to all sorts of things, used to load up our Transit van with loads of kit including some empty boxes and go round collecting it all. Often met some lovely farmers wives! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stimo22 Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Our clay shoot has always had a problem getting rid of the used shells, so we now use "Agri-Cycle" to recycle them. Have a look at their video of how they recycle both empty and live shells. We have a company called RCBaker about 30 miles away so can take them there when we have plenty. They charge £12 for a bag of 4000, or £30 for a large builder bag of 20000, There may be an agent for Agri- cycle near you so give them a call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
