Suggestions for what to do with spent brass?

Tenn Cartridge will give you credit for it against loaded ammo.

One of our local gun shops in Columbus has a similar buy-back program.

Thanks, I forgot about the prepaid USPS boxes. "Quite a bit" definitely isn't a 55-gallon drum, but a couple of 5 gallon buckets in 9mm so far, with a bit of .38 special and a dash of .30 carbine on the (separated) side. Are .22 LRs worth anything to anyone?

I'll have to check in the spring for any budding ammo trees. I've probably missed picking up more .22s than 9mms, so I'd probably have ammo bushes.

No one reloads .22 - you can scrap those. I only bother picking it up to keep the range clean.

In case the ammo orchard doesn't pan out, the aforementioned sheriff's office got just under $31 a gallon at auction for mixed brass so a five gallon bucket of 9mm would be worth between $100 and $150. Split the difference and say you get $250 for your two buckets - that's a nice bit of extra $$$.

I leave it in 5 gallon buckets in my basement and stack it in the corner.

I've always thought it would be really cool to use it for landscaping around the house instead of gravel or mulch.

Maybe add some shotgun hulls here and there for a bit of color.

Actually they are usefull, if you want to invest in one of these....

Thanks, everyone.

CCT125US - Cool link, thanks. But after the landscaping talk, I saw "jacket" and half expected to see someone making outerwear covered with .22 casings.

FWIW, 5 gallon buckets with screwed on lids make excellent shipping containers. We ship automotive differentials in them all the time.
