Caswell sells a giant industrial "shop vac" for recycling the trap. It has either a 220v electric motor for indoor use or a Briggs and Stratten for big outdoor ranges. There is no can on the vac just a big 6" dia pick up tube and an exhaust tube, to blow the rubber back into the trap. You basically shovel the contents of the trap out onto the floor of the range and carefully vacume the rubber up, leaving the lead bullets on the floor. A trap recycle is a very messy and EPA/OSHA regulated affair, that is why there are outside companys like the ones that go arround and do asbestos abatement to take care of the recycles.
