Comment on Do not drop ammunition at Devon recycling centres, council warns

Okay, but the article has absolutely no information on how to safely dispose of ammunition, fireworks, flares, etc.
I don’t think anyone has any actual live ammunition they have disposed of. What they’ve done is they’ve disposed of an old, deactivated ornamental tank shell that was a part of a collection. They have then failed to mention it’s even in there, let alone deactivated, somebody has found it and then they must treat it as active.
If they’d just gone ‘hey guys, this thing isn’t going to explode, look it’s empty’ or something, no worries would have been had.
The bullet or shell in the photo doesn’t look deactivated or dismantled to me.
It could be a dummy round, but until you run it past an expert, it should be treated as unexploded ordinance.
Why would you want to dispose of it? Either shoot it, demilitarize it, or blow it up
