A range master at Kokohead told me I could leave some with them.  But I don't know if they meant like a bazillion rounds. I would think that a handful would be fine.  Added benifit is you can do it when you go to shoot so no extra trip required.

HPD used to light a fire in a 55 gal drum and throw'em in there. Pretty uneventful. Just some popping sounds.

Your military are you not BLKDRGN? If so find a ammunition amnesty box on base, if you don't want to pull the bullet as suggested above.

The public ranges at Kokohead have bins for damaged ammo, as does the silhouette range.

If you reload, pull it out to reuse powder and if bullet isn't damage you can reuse it too.  I use a kinetic bullet puller for my mishap reloads.

you can just throw them in the trash, mythbusters did a test where even if you throw .50cal bmg into a fire, it won't really do much other then to pop.  The most dangerous part becomes the case/shell as the bullet probably weights more.

Parked school bus windows also make great receptacles.

The kids do a great job at turning them in to the recess monitors.

It will be the same useless politician who banned all types of silencing and muffler devices on barrels and mopeds.
