Does anyone know what local bay area ranges do with the brass left behind? Specifically south bay ranges like Reeds and TM. Do they dump them, sell them or reload them? Thanks!

Metcalf - you can pick up your own brass. Skeet/trap - when the hull hits the ground it belongs to them.
Pretty sure they sell it as scrap - don't think Metcalf reloads.sigpic

This item has been discussed on many different forums and the conclusion is that if you bring your own ammo the spent brass belongs to you. In other words
if the Range wants to keep YOUR brass they need to compensated you for it or that is theft.
What would happen if your dropped a mag or your keys on the floor do they now belong to the Range?

I know it is not the range area you are talking about, but, the indoor range I go to sometimes in Solano county, your brass is yours! The brass left behind they sell for (I think) $4 a lb. but you have to "mine" through it to pick out what you want!NRA MEMBERComment

As stated they sell it as scrap metal. Once in a blue moon they clean out all the lead from the backstops and berms and sell that as well. I had a long conversation with a RSO at Livermore about this a while back.

The recycle yards pay a buck a pound, and that's after the range separates out the aluminum and steel which are both worthless to the recycler. They even want the nickle separated. The range rule of not picking up other brass is to keep you guys from fighting over it! The range can sell it, but nobody is getting rich off your empties.Comment
