Your live ammunition is not recyclable (and not disposable). More on how you can dispose of ammunition below.

But first, Loudoun County Sheriff’s deputies were called near 6 p.m. Sunday night to a recycling bin at 38150 West Colonial Highway in Hamilton. A resident had discovered a box of ammunition.

The area was searched and there was no evidence of discharged rounds, according to a sheriff’s office release.

“Due to the proximity to Harmony Middle School and Kenneth W. Culbert Elementary School, the school grounds were also searched,” according to the release. “There were no threats associated with the incident.”
