Sure, when I get to a regular PC keyboard.

I was there

I get that your an old guy and I am grey myself, but as far as I can ever remember that was not a authorized thing, sanctioned or SOP.  Could it happen?  Sure but not SOP by any stretch.  IME, I have never seen or heard of it.

Wonder if the police department will accept them.

Yes, they will accept any ammo or firearms people want to turn in.

I think Queens Hospital will take it. They cauterize wounds with old ammo for those who don't have health insurance. Rambo action

RE: Powder on grass as fertilizer....no

This was at Koko Head circa 1979.
I used to go to shoot pistol on Wednesday afternoons.
At that time the pistol range was where the skeet range is today.
The range was run by HPD personnel and maybe a C&C range officer.
It was a very hot summer day and there were maybe 3 people shooting.
There was a gent shooting a black powder pistol about 30 ft to my right.
Apparently one of his patches fell onto the dry grass in front of the firing line and ignited the grass.
The flame got pretty big quickly so one of the HPD guys grabbed a hose and flooded the area.
Apparently, decades of unburnt powder particles had accumulated in the grass and dirt in front of the firing line.
Even though the the area was flooded like a swamp the fire continued to burn and bubble under the water for a good 5 or 10 minutes.
 Damnedest thing I've ever seen.

that explains the fire at the range a few years ago

I was at the range soon after the flare gun incident. It may have been the day after. Heard that was a wild day. Not sure if they ever pressed charges.
