Safe disposal of corroded ammunition often involves contacting local law enforcement or hazardous waste disposal facilities. Some gun clubs or ranges may also offer specific disposal services. Never attempt to fire corroded ammunition as it can be dangerous.

What are the risks of using corroded ammunition?
