Safe disposal of black powder and pyrodex?

Reminds me I have about 5 pounds of the stuff, can't recall if it is FF or FFF. Anyone in the NE Cleveland, Ohio area have a use for it let me know, come get it and it's yours. I have not actually looked at it in maybe 20 years. :) Four of the five one pound cans were never opened.

The anvil launch was pretty cool. :)

I got away from BO decades ago. BP wasn't especially hard to get back then, but my friends were still pretty happy to get a few pounds for free. I Imagine your friends would be, too!

I compliment you, on your thinking on this subject and that has been my solution, to it's disposal. Although no longer actively involved with "BuckSkiinny" I still have those contacts and trading buddies.
I no longer use BP or Pyrodex, whenever comes my way I either trade or give it away and believe me, it's always appreciated and never goes to waste. ..... ;)

I once bought a partial collection from a widow and in the mix, were four powder horns. Right off, I shake them and they were full of BP, I can always tell by the smell. .... :rolleyes:

I informed her of the possible danger and told her, not to worry as I would dispose of it. I paid her for the horns and she threw in the BP.

She then mentioned that she had a keg of it, in her garage that she would gladly, give to me. Turned out to be a 15LB. black metal Dupont keg, full of FFG. The wife ad I were on our way, to the Mall and started to put the keg, in the trunk. Then "that" little bell, wet off in my head an took the keg, back in her garage. Made arrangements to to have a BuckSkinner buddy pick it up. "suggested" that he give the Lady, $25.00 donation. All went well and she was pleased and surprised by the $25.00 ...... :eek:

Be Safe !!!
