LA CROSSE, Wis. (WXOW) - Anyone from La Crosse County with unwanted ammunition can dispose of it properly on Saturday.

The drive-through event is open to La Crosse County residents only. Anyone who comes to the event must remain in their vehicles.
Disposing of the first five pounds of ammuntion is free and $5 per pound after that.
They are accepting only factory rounds of .50 caliber and 8-gauge or less. No black powder, military munitions, fireworks, or explosives are accepted. No other waste materials are accepted during the event.
The county said on their Solid Waste webpage that all of the ammunition collected goes to a licensed hazardous waste facility where it will be incinerated.

I can't wait until they have their 'Unwanted Precious Metal" collection drive. I've got a bunch of old gold coins sitting around collecting dust...

I can't wait until they announce they will be going door to door to pick up your ammunition like it or not
For the children, of course

When that day comes, I'll give them all the ammo I can, until they kill me.

They get bullets first. The "clean up crew" will need to police the brass. Joe
