On a local mailing list, someone asked how to dispose of some old ammo they found. I recall seeing something the City of Austin did regarding this, so I went looking.

Here’s what the City of Austin says:

Please consult the Austin Police Department at their non-emergency number, 3-1-1, for disposal options. Do not put ammunition in your garbage cart, dumpster or recycling cart.

I was curious enough myself, so I called and asked. Apparently the Austin Police Department will send an officer out to you to collect the ammo, then they’ll take it from there. Don’t know what exactly they will do to dispose of it, but no matter to me.

I like that tho. Just call and they’ll come pick it up.

I don’t have any ammo to dispose of myself… at least, any ammo I have I’ll use. 🙂  Still, good to know this.
