    Something tells me the people that drop these off aren't entirely sure what they've got, just 'random metal object I don't need/want'.

    I doubt people think a recycling center should have/know what to do with explosives...

    All right then, in which bin should I put that unexploded Luftwaffe 500-pounder, then?

    Very near my house, a few years ago, someone uncovered one of those in a brownfield site that was being redeveloped, leading to some specialists evacuating the neighbourhood and doing a controlled demolition that rattled my windows and could be heard a couple of miles away.

    The odd mortar round in Newton Scabbott is small potatoes compared to that.

    I assume they're talking about aerosol spray cans?

    Stop throwing away 90% of the recyclables!

    Also, stop blaming your customers for the waste in the first place!
