    Any Watsonville PD Officers in here?

    There is a range over by the airport that is behind my house and I was wondering if you guys know what you do with your brass? Sometimes I am tempted to drive on down there when I hear you guys shooting but I resist lol.

    If they are like us they are trading it in for credit towards ammo. We never did that before but now it is worth it.

      Just a guess but I'd have to agree that they are probably recycling the brass to a reloading company. You could call the department and talk to their rangemaster.

        Thats what I thought but there is a local range here and they have buckets and buckets of brass just sitting there. They have a hard time recycling it because the local recycling center doesn't want to find any live rounds.

            Watsonville PD keeps it all. Don't know where it goes after that. They probably won't give it to anyone. And driving down when you hear shooting is an exceedingly bad idea. You would probably get a less than cordial greeting.

              The range isn't selling brass back to a reloader? Like maybe the one who they buy their reloads from?

                this... we use their range and dump our brass in their container. I've never asked where it went but I assume WPD keeps it.

                The entrance to the range is available only to LE and airport personnel as it is on their property.

                I am going to start collecting our .223 brass.

                  Yeah that I thought, I figured this would be the safest place to ask. Thanks for the responses.
