Failure to Fire

Had a recent batch of ammo that gave me a few failure to fires in my Sig226. Cleared them and continued to shoot, but I was wondering...what do you do with them afterwards? Our range doesn't have any sort of "safe" disposal area.

Do you leave them on the ground (we don't collect our own brass at the range)? Do you throw them in the garbage?

What's acceptable practice and the law? Never had to deal with it before.

Your range should have a safe disposal for misfires & dud rounds. You should not leave them on the ground or throw them in the garbage . I know of at least one range that was shut down for live rounds left on the ground.

One suggestion would be a heavy metal container with a drop tube. Thick enough that if the round goes off it will be safe.
