What to do with ammo boxes?

[MARLANDO]

OP, Is this a serious question ?

[musick]

Yeah, it's best to be discreet these days. I had to ponder the same thing the other month. I usually just keep ammo in the boxes it came in and then seal the boxes up in an ammo can. But a batch of .22 I recently ordered came in bulk packs that didn't fit neatly into my ammo cans, so I lined the can with a cut-to-size paper bag and dumped the ammo in.

This left me with a bunch of small ammo boxes to break down plus the big cardboard box that it all came in which was clearly labelled "Small Arms Munitions" (with my name and address.)

Solution was to de-label the big box and toss it in a dumpster in a quiet business park. I got rid of the the small boxes by going for a walk in the neighborhood the night before trash day...a few tossed in this can, a few tossed in that can and viola - all gone.

Sums up my thoughts on the situation perfectly. Removing your name and address and dispose of these in the most careful method you can is of the utmost importance.

I believe it is.

I think the OP just wants to be sure his neighborhood isn't going to think he's a terrorist hoarding ammo.

If you know somebody that reloads, offer the boxes to that person.

^^^ This. Or, when you open them at the range try not to rip & tear the boxes. If you could just go ahead and leave the plastic tray in the box when you toss it in the trash that would be terrific. M'kay?

Don't take the trash cans out until the morning of pickup?

Or go all high speed, low drag tactical black ops special elite operator on 'em and conceal the boxes in stealth tactical black lawn & leaf bags!

These is what happens when you have garbage police in your city.

Do not let garbage police into your city.

Fold them inside out and toss them in the compost under other stuff. The recycling thieves don't look in them.

Thanks - putting them in the bottom of the compost is the best idea that I will use. This is .223 ammo so there are no plastic holders to recycle.

Oh well then. Just conceal them in some Birkenstock mandel boxes. Toss 'em in the trash. Problem solved.

Leave the ammo in the boxes and put the boxes in ammo cans. If you just dump it all in there and there is a recall later you won't even know if your ammo is from one of those batches and you'll have no way to exchange it. Not to mention you have a risk of damaging the rounds if you just dump them in a can. Bent/dented brass jams.

My condolences.

Hard to belive that we have to put this much thought into discarding trash!!! What has this State/Nation come to

I believe it is.

Reason I ask is that if OP is responsible to have guns and buying/storing Ammo, he should have the common sense how to solve this problem on his own without asking on a open forum, geez

Pack them with sand and send them to Feinstein?
