I am looking for a way to recycle some old .12g ammo. I do not want to shoot it(low quality) and I don't want to throw it in the trash. If there is a place where I can recycle this please tell me.

.12 BBs are perfect for grenades. Tornados especially. I'd hold on to these if I was you.

I'm sure he is talking about 12 gauge shotgun ammo xghostmakerx. Give it all to me .. Otherwise I would reccomend taking it to your local police department. They normally will take this with no charge and dispose it properlly for you.

If you're talking about bbs, just bring them to a game and give them away. Somebody will want them for their M203 or something.

I live in the UP and cannot get to many games.
Yes I am talking about bbs.
I've got about 1 big jug(roughly 10,000rds) and a few medium sized jugs(2,000rds) from when I used to skirmish with spring guns with my friends.
If I could recycle the bbs that would be great.
I might keep one medium jug if I do get a Tornado grenade or M203.

Put a post up in commerce giving them away for the price of shipping.
Or just burn them in a pile of rubber tires while drinking bottled water from the cab of your 12mpg truck.

I am not very well experienced with shipping anything. 2. I know you meant no offense by what you said but, up here people do not burn rubber tires and most people that do have a truck, well the truck is fuel efficient enough for the winter and summer.

I don't think he was talking about Yoopers, captain. I think he was just writing a tongue-in-cheek caricature of somebody who wouldn't care about throwing out a bunch of plastic. Burning tires and drinking bottled water isn't one of the agreed upon stereotypes of you Yoopers down here, and we all drive trucks anyway.
As far as shipping goes, just head to your local post office, Fedex or UPS store with the bbs and tell them where you want it to go. It'll only cost a couple of bucks. So have whoever wants them send you their address. You then go ask a shipping company how much it would cost to ship them to that address. PM the buyer back with the quote, wait patiently for him to pay you, and take 'em back to the shipping company and send 'em out.

How would the buyer pay me? I don't have pay-pal(spelling?), would he/she send the money/check in an envelope?
Back on topic however, are there any other uses besides grenades and shells?
Off Topic Question: Is the STAR/ARES SA80 grenade launcher able to fit on the ICS L85A2?(I didn't want to start a new thread.)

A USPS money order would be your best bet. Cheap, easy, and federally insured.

To answer your first question, yes they'd have to send you the money.
2nd question, no there really aren't any other good uses for them other than cheap springers. They're just too light and poorly made to use in higher quality guns.
Finally for your last question, I would say maybe? So long as both companies designed their guns similarly as far as external dimensions go, it should work. But I am not sure on that.

Well thank you everybody for all your help and suggestions. I might put the bbs in Commerce within the next month or so. Thanks Thor for answering my L85 question and that has played a considerable role in my next big purchase(ICS L85A2 with Susat and SA80 launcher).

If you're picking up a grenade launcher, you may want to keep those .12's.
