tossing primers

[hambam105]

Could be.
I never recycled squat in Oakland.
Seems like every few months some East Bay recycling goes up in flames for reasons unknown to me at least. Keeps the news-babes busy.
Every recycling and Hazmat Drop-Off place that I frequent in the South Bay all have big signs in English that explicitly prohibit things that go bang. And non English understanding visiting types get the message via big pictures and colorful drawings.

I only go to Oakland for Fenton's where the only thing that explodes is my pants button.

Bass, injured hand, month, go home, pain....

When these Doctors, Dentists and musician types show up and want to learn how to shoot...it's an early break for the rest of the class and a special one on one full disclosure, I-Don't-Carry-Enough-Liability-Insurance, to cover your hands discussion and about the consequences of...recreational shooting mishaps.

I goggled fentons & Oakland...1st page was all about an Ice Cream Shop. Okay, okay. Got it. You had me concerned for minute. This is supposed to be a family show.

I've done it, they work but only 9/10 times...consistently too which is odd...

I suck live primers up in my wife's vacuum in our hobby room (where my Dillon resides) all the time, they make a horrendous noise swirling around in there but never detonate.

Now you are full of it. Aaron Metals is one of, if not the biggest, scrapper in the state. They are not a "recycler". They deal in scrap by the ton and they set the prices that all the others go by, because the smaller ones pay less and then take it to Aaron. They do this all day, every day, and are heavily regulated by the Gov't. I'll take their word over yours any day.
When one has 4 or 5 5 gallon buckets full of No 1 brass it is worth the drive to Oakland. Last time I went it was almost $700.

If they are shotgun primers.... they can make for fun sling shot ammo... if shot into a curb or other similar surface.....

I used to do that as a kid. I remember them zinging back past me. Good thing I didn't lose an eye.

Do they have pistachio ice cream? Cause everyone knows it's the best kind.

Well Kendog4570, I'll call Aron Metals in Oakland and ask them what their policy is on primers. If I'm wrong I'll gladly post it. I am not the smartest yahoo in the world, obviously, most obviously that is, but I am smart enough to admit when I am wrong.

When I self-identify and explicitly ask them questions about their primer recycling & disposal policy & procedures would you mind if I notified them that these question arouse from our conversation?

They are not a "recycler".

This is part of the 1st sentence on a website that refers to themselves as, 'Aron Metals'. We are referring to the same facility, correct?

"...Aaron... is the largest non-ferrous scrap metal recycling facility in the San Francisco/Oakland..."

Like, Lt. Dangle type of shorts? What other shorts can you put underneath pants?

Apparently ice cream with nuts is the flavor of the week! :D

Absolutely. I've been getting the same thing though for over 30 years, but my friend's and family say it's the best ice cream. The food however is usually met with a "meh," but it's a creamery... And a damn fine one. It even made it into the cartoon movie "Up."

I just got off the phone with Aron Metals. After speaking with the 3rd person, the A team returns on Monday, AM said they take lead bullets and brass. But no one knew what a 'primer' was.

So our man was kind enough to read verbatim AMs company policy:

No E-Waste...surprisingly...

And not so surprisingly, according to this, "Now you are full of it" reporter, No Explosives. No Flammables. No Tanks that they cannot see into. And just to double check, on every primer package I have, including different manufactures, all contain words such as, 'May Explode, Explosive'.

So kendog4570, what do you know...what have you been doing...that we should all know about? Please, do tell.
