I just throw them in the trash with the rest of the garbage.

If there was someone looking through my garbage, I'd have to find a better neighborhood.

Mine all go in our recycle bin.

How many empties do you generate?

I peel off the label if I can. If it comes off nice I'll stick it on the bin of the media separator. If I had some other place to stick'em I would.
I just toss the empty container with the lid off in the trash.

Plastic , metal and cardboard containers go in the recycling bin. It's still legal to reload in Louisiana for the moment .
The neighbors haven't started going through my trash yet looking for evidence of my criminal reloading activities ... when they do I will have to start driving to other states , Mississippi or Texas , and disposing the "evidence" there . Removing labels and cutting up containers into small pieces helps in disposal .
(the above paragraph is irony...I don't really do this)

You guys all missed my first thought... put them on eBay as “collectibles!”
You mean to say that no one saves them for the County Haz Mat recycling day and wait in line for 3 hours to dispose of them properly?
Take them to the range put on the berm an shoot them.

I'll bet a dollar to a hole in a doughnut that there are people that do that. Larry
Mine go to my range. Get shot full of holes. Then into the house hold trash bags that get picked by a big "squish em" truck.
Recycle!
I recycle all my reloading containers........................ into heat in the shop! The neighbors all know I'm a gun owner after a hundred rounds of 44 mags go off in my back yard! Country living is great!

Empty powder bottles get treated like any other empty bottles.
I reuse them for popcorn (popped). Come in handy for certain threads.
You overlooked a critical item
What about all those empty primer boxes? You can't just throw them in the trash. The primers explode. Now you have powder residue mixed with priming compound ! ! !
This is contaminated plastic -- it can't be recycled !
It must be a slow day living on their block, not much happening in the real world of paranoia and perfection. I guess living in New Jersey is just really different. An empty pistol primer box means you have an illegal, immoral unregistered handgun?

A little too tin foil hat for me....never thought about it. But I do double back from the trips to the gun shop to make sure I’m not being followed.
The government has been watching me, they’ll keep the neighbors out of my trash. All those Form 4473’s over the years...those who want to know already do.

This is what I do with the labels.
I don't do this for any other reason than I thought the labels were kinda neat and thought they would display nicely.
Maybe its from buying performance car parts that came with decals. They came with everything and lots of guy put them on a toolbox or shop bathroom doors.
If I had a door or cabinet I would have stuck them on it too. I couldnt bring myself to stick them on the safe...
