How do you dispose of empty powder containers?

And horror of horrors, I throw empty ammo boxes in the trash or recycling, for everyone to see!
I see lots of paranormia here..........Lots!
I can’t say I ever put powder containers on my worry list! I never cared if the guys in the black helicopters saw them. I figured the agents in the shrubs already had me covered.
My dad loved empty IMR cans. He would dip them in some kind of acetone based solvent that would take it bare. Then he would use to contain different solvents and oils liberated from 55gal drums at work.

We have no recycle bin and trash trucks come around with men riding on the back who empty the cans in the back of the truck. After reading the above posts, am I living in a time warp or maybe it's just semi-rural northeast Texas?
Is it the CV-19 or what? I’m amazed at some of the things that people make an issue out of. Everyday they use credit cards, ATMs and other forms of electronic files of personal information. Everything from banks to medical files. Nothing is secret anymore, so don’t waste time worrying about empty powder containers. The other day on one of the gun forums a guy was worried about what to do with spent primers. Should he throw them away or take them to scrap yard and sell them for scrap? You got to be kidding. I’m 70 and stoved up but if I get to this point I hope kids put me away.

Well since the Covid I'm more concerned about the proliferation of empty scotch bottles in my trash.

Lots of obsessive behavior and paranoia nowadays. I told my wife if she ever sees me waxing guns, trying to remove carbon rings from cylinder faces, diagramming sentences, or doing any other form of busy work, to take me before a mental health court judge.

Where I live I can burn all or most of my own trash.
If I had to use a trash service I would simply get a can of spray paint that will bond with plastics and spray over the label.

I throw them in my anti-gun neighbor’s trash can, along with my kids’ diapers and dog poop picked up from the yard.

Rinse them out
If you are worried about any problems, just rinse the containers out with water and chuck them into the recycle bin,
I threw an empty in a fire one time , it does have a muffled expolsion

I would use the plastic jar type for storage but they aren’t transparent.
I have family save Peanut Butter jars for me. Got all my nails, screws and such in them. These in turn stored in the plastic cases for gallons of milk.
Space saver, you can see what you’ve got and don’t have paper boxes or plastic bags busting and spilling.

Wrap them up in tin foil before throwing out.

Many of you need to realize the poster resides in a ridiculously anti gun, anti personal freedom State.I know guys who hunt in NJ and have to HIDE that fact for fear of vandalism to their vehicles when parked, etc.
Its a crazy place.

I fill them with water and shove some fresh cut flowers in them and make mama happy.

If you don't want to use your entire 1 lb of tannerite, you can break it down into 3 or 4 oz on top of sawdust in clean-rinsed with water and dried old powder containers to make pretty clouds of sawdust.
