IMDB rating: 5.90 Plot: Butch “Bullet” Stein is a Jewish junkie from the mean streets of Brooklyn, is paroled after eight years in prison. Butch rips off a runner for local drug dealer, Tank, and is soon right back into his old habits of snorting coke and shooting up heroin with his best friend Lester. Enraged by Butch’s affront and already determined to get revenge on him for a past wrong, Tank sets about getting even with his old enemy by hiring a hulking brute, Gates to beat Butch. When the confrontation occurs, however, Gates breaks his hand on the battle-hardened Butch. Besides Lester, the only people in Butch’s corner are his two brothers, the mentally-unhinged Vietnam War veteran Louis and aspiring artist Ruby, neither of whom can be counted on to help him in the inevitable showdown. |

What happens to empty bullet shell casings at shooting ranges? Do they get tossed or recycled?
If recycled are they made into more bullets or melted for the metal? Anything about what happens to bullet shell casings after the bullet has been used will help greatly.
Thanks! :]
Especially with the prices of brass and copper today, most ranges I know of either sell spent brass to reloaders at a discount, or as scrap.
The dealer I take most of my business to just sold a huge lot that wasn’t moving, and cleared over $650 cash at the local scrapyard.
NOBODY I know ‘just tosses them away’. . . .
Around here, scavengers from both sides of the border will comb all the local plinkin’ sites, and the only cases they leave behind are lacquered steel junk. They even grab up the aluminum ‘Blazer’ type cases!

Most gun range owners will have them recycled by selling them to companies that use the empty brass casings and remanufacture the ammunition. Those companies sell remanufactured ammo by using these casings and filling them with powder and new primers again.

I reload my brass. I have even been known to scrounge discarded brass left at the range. A couple years ago I was at the local police range, where I do so volunteer work.. I noticed a considerable quantity of .40 cal. brass lying on the ground. I picked it all up. A couple weeks later I dropped by the local police station to visit a buddy. On the wall was a large note from the Highway Patrol. They were most annoyed that someone had picked up all the brass they had shot and intended to come back for the following day. Apparently, I beat them by a couple hours.

It depends on the range but almost all recycle the empty casings that are left behind. (Most serious shooters reload)
Periodically the berms (earth mounds the bullets go into behind the targets) are redone and the bullets themselves are sifted out for recycling. At the range where I work we actually made money the last time we our berms done.

These guys named mostly everything.
One thing in particular that I wanted to mention was that this one local gun shop is atrocious.
The guy never cleans up the range, and casings are littered everywhere. They practically end up in your shoes.
I plan to one day bag it all up and seperate them so that I can try to sell them somewhere.

The brass casings are saved & taken to the scrap yard where they are redeemed for money. Brass has a very high scrap value these days because of the high price of copper.
